Busyness has become a badge<\/a> of honor in our society. Somehow, getting things done has taken precedence over sleep, family time, and even other values.<\/p>\n

This shift in cultural priorities<\/a> occurred for several reasons. Among these factors is that busyness became a status symbol of importance and a means to elevate one\u2019s self worth.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this has come at a cost. While burning the candle at both ends may feel productive, being underslept takes its toll on job performance, brain processing, memory, emotions, relationships, physical health, and mental health.<\/p>\n

In my latest article<\/a> and video, I discuss why busyness doesn\u2019t deliver in its promise for prestige, at least not at a high cost. I also highlight what happens to job efficiency, cognition, and mind-body physiology when one gets less sleep than required for optimal function.<\/p>\n
