How does sleep deprivation affect work performance?
Sleep deprivation and sleep restriction just don’t help work at all. Mainly because you can’t concentrate as well, it’s more difficult to recall things, one might take more risks, one might become more suggestible to what others might be saying, it’s harder to generate new solutions. Everything just starts to go wrong. For an insomniac, it even gets worse, because if they start worrying about not getting enough sleep, then they also think about sleep impacting on slurring and concentration as well.
