A lack of sleep inhibits concentration and the ability to carry on complex
mental tasks. Other side effects include irritability, chronic tardiness,
sleeping on the job, and a higher likelihood of on-the-job accidents.
Negative
health effects include weight gain and increased risk for heart problems and
diabetes. Sleeplessness may be caused by sleep disorders or health and lifestyle
issues. Develop a plan to get more sleep in consultation with your medical
provider.
