Sleep as a career factor: What helps at work when sleep doesn't cooperate?
Those who sleep poorly at night notice it the next day: concentration suffers, tasks take longer, and small mistakes accumulate - at the expense of one's career. What helps those affected in their daily work routine?
Sleep problems are widespread, affecting women, older workers, and those with high stress levels or irregular work schedules. Bad sleep can lead to fatigue, lack of concentration, and increased risk of accidents, creating a vicious cycle with stress. Experts, including Hans-Günter Weeß from the Pfalzklinikum Klingenmünster and Jette Völker from the University of Mannheim, recommend strategies such as prioritizing tasks, exercise, and relaxation techniques to mitigate the effects of poor sleep.
They also suggest establishing a consistent sleep schedule and creating a relaxing bedtime routine to improve sleep quality.
