Today we are talking about a third way your lack of quality sleep is affecting your performance which is that it leads to Poor Decision-Making Abilities.
Sleep deprivation not only deteriorates your physical health and work performance, it can also give way to dangerous outcomes. The fact is that with poor concentration and thinking abilities, you lose the ability to perceive, judge, and decide well.
A study that was done included 17 hours of wakefulness which amounts to a long day at work. The result of the study showed behavioral changes in the individuals, which were equivalent to drinking two glasses of alcohol.
If your sustained wakefulness continues beyond 17 hours, you may behave as if you have consumed four glasses of alcohol. Can you guess the consequences that will follow?
It is not a hidden fact that having a very good attention to detail is a prerequisite for business owners and support staff. Hence, it does not take much to guess that the effects of sleep-deprived entrepreneurs can be nothing short of disastrous.
In fact, there are numerous examples of disastrous consequences erupting due to sleep-deprived workforces in history. Some of these include the Challenger space shuttle disaster, the oil spill at Exxon Valdez, and the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl.
Tune in tomorrow for a 4th way your lack of quality sleep can be affecting your performance.
