But in reality work, collaboration, and ultimately, your company, are greatly impacted by you and your employees’ sleep habits. Sleep might feel like the last priority in a long list of impactful ways to motivate a workforce, but did you know that your employees are less likely to trust you when you don’t get enough rest? Or that sleep-deprived individuals are more likely to view the actions of others, including their colleagues, as negative? These often subconscious reactions can be major blockers to building a connected organization that can take on and solve complex problems. That’s where sleep leadership comes in—prioritizing rest has a positive, cascading effect across organizations and helps everyone show up as their best selves at work.
