Broad Costs of Sleep Loss
Doctors and experts have warned that repeated sleep deprivation impairs concentration, memory and decision-making, increases the risk of mistakes and accidents, and is also linked to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and mental health disorders. It can also reduce productivity, increase absenteeism and raise the cost of correcting mistakes. A preliminary study of 110 male employees at a private company in Dubai found that 82.7% had moderate sleep problems, and that sleep quality was associated with life satisfaction. The study had not undergone peer review. Experts called for better organization of shifts, provision of rest breaks and respect for employees’ time after work. They advised adults to sleep seven to nine hours a day and to avoid driving or performing safety-sensitive tasks when drowsy.
