The pressure that we face while at work has a big impact on our sleep quality. There is a strong correlation and mutual impact between work, productivity and sleep. While working efficiently frequently culminates in better quality sleep, sleep deprivation can reduce work performance and productivity. Working long hours can result in burnout and chronic stress, which can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion as well as a loss of motivation.

According to the ResMed Sleep Survey 2024, the top cause of disrupted sleep in India is work-related stress, with 42 per cent of respondents stating it as what keeps them up at night. Workplace stress may also have a negative cognitive impact on sleeping patterns. Insufficient sleep can lead to problems at work, including bad decision-making, a limited attention span, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
