Sleep Deprivation Affects Job Satisfaction

Research shows that lack of sleep can affect job satisfaction.

Unhappy on your job? Maybe you're not getting enough sleep. Research at the University of Florida indicates that workers who suffer from insomnia are more likely to say they dislike or even hate their job the next day.

Vince Lombardi said, "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." When we're very tired we have difficulty dealing with new situations and difficult decisions. It's tough to listen to a customer complaint with empathy when you're worn out.

Before you decide to quit your job because "it's the pits," make sure that lack of sleep isn't magnifying normal job stress and expanding your disatisfaction. If you lack sufficient sleep, the next job may not be any better.
