Does this sound familiar? You’re preparing for a high-stakes presentation. The deadline is tight, the pressure is high, and you find yourself working late into the night—again. You tell yourself it’s what needs to be done. But the next day, running on minimal sleep, things don’t go as planned.
You start the meeting, and suddenly your brain just doesn’t cooperate. Key data points slip away. You stumble over words you know inside and out. Your mind feels foggy, and your confidence takes a hit—not because you weren’t prepared, but because you weren’t rested.
If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. Sleep deprivation is more than a personal inconvenience—it’s a performance killer. Emotional regulation, memory, and decision-making all take a hit.
It’s time we start treating sleep as a workplace issue—not just a wellness one. Because when we neglect rest, we’re not just hurting ourselves, we’re impacting our teams, our creativity, and our ability to lead effectively.
If you’re a leader, this is important:
Make space for rest. Normalize it. Encourage it. High performance doesn’t come from running on empty—it comes from being recharged.
Because the truth is, your team doesn’t need a sleep-deprived hero. They need a clear-thinking, fully-present leader.
And if you’re not sure where to start, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I offer workplace sleep assessments and corporate sleep seminars—to help teams build healthier habits, boost performance, and prevent burnout.
Sometimes the first step is simply opening the conversation. I’m here to help you take it.
