5 Healthy Sleep Habits for Maximising performance and a Safer Workplace

Fatigue is a silent but serious workplace hazard. Studies show that being awake for 17 hours impairs performance as much as a 0.05% blood alcohol level, while 24 hours without sleep is equivalent to 0.10%. Poor sleep affects reaction times, decision-making, and overall safety, increasing the risk of workplace accidents. Establishing healthy sleep habits—such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, optimizing sleep environments, and recognizing signs of fatigue—can significantly improve workplace performance. Prioritizing sleep is just as crucial as wearing protective gear. A well-rested team is safer, more productive, and better equipped to handle workplace challenges.
