Too Tired to Work?

The weekend is over--do you feel rested? If you're already wondering how you'll muster the energy to make it through the week, join the club. We're a nation of walking zombies, according to an article on CareerJournal.com. Only 26 percent of adults get the recommended eight hours of sleep a night; compared with 38 percent in 2001. Most plan on making up for lost shut-eye on the weekends. But when Saturday rolls around, there's so much else to do--and for many busy Americans, extra sleep falls to the bottom of their to-do lists. But before you stifle a yawn or reach for another cup of coffee, consider how a lack of sleep might affect the way you run your business. Chronic fatigue dulls your senses and prevents you from concentrating. So do yourself a favor tonight and don't stay up for the late-night show.
