Sleep is a topic that has long been neglected in organizations. However, a large body of research indicates that sleepiness is quite common in most organizations, and can have destructive effects on how employees think, feel, behave, and perform. Accordingly, the purpose of this article is threefold. First is a discussion of workplace factors that contribute to a lack of sleep. Second is a discussion of the various effects of low levels of sleep. Third, strategies drawn from the research literature are provided for managing sleepy workers. These fall into two categories. Prevention includes improving sleep hygiene, strategic napping, scheduling tasks when humans are best suited to be awake, avoiding backward shift rotation, limiting shift length, and minimizing stress in the workplace. Mitigation includes utilizing teams, team member rotation, giving sleepy employees familiar tasks rather than novel tasks, task rotation, breaks, and caffeine. With these tools, it is possible to address a pervasive and growing problem that is often overlooked.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
