Sleep and Work Conference tallies cost of fitful nights

A unique conference hosted by QSB on July 11, 2014, brought together management and sleep scholars to discuss new research on the topic of sleep and work. Insufficient sleep was shown to link to such disturbing outcomes as poor performance, unethical behaviour, “cyber-loafing” and poor engagement. Researchers showed that poor sleep quality on a given night can result in abusive behaviour by the boss the next day.
