The Real Key to Productivity? Sleep

The Real Key to Productivity? Sleep | Science News | Scoop.it

There are sound physiological reasons for why staying awake longer means poorer productivity. When you become fatigued, your brain's thalamus becomes more active, expending energy just to keep you awake. At the same time, your parietal and occipital lobes, which are responsible for processing sensory data, lose glucose, making it harder to concentrate and make accurate judgements about the world around you. When you are low on sleep, you are bound to have a bad temper, bad diet and make bad decisions.
