Avoid having your workers become dumb and fat
(Posted by francois to: human resources | interesting links )Quoting the National Sleep Foundation, the Boston Sunday Globe yesterday reported that people who do not sleep enough have a chance to become fat and dumb.
"Those who get fewer than six hours of sleep a night might as well be drunk," says the reporter, citing that people who stay up for 18 hours straight function in similar ways to those people with an 0.08 percent blood alcohol level - the state's legal limit. And according to a researcher at the University of Chicago, not getting enough sleep results in the brain starting to think that it needs to store food.
So companies should make sure that their workers are not up all night from work-related stress, as they could end up with a dumb and fat workforce :)
