Losing just 16 minutes of sleep could be the difference between a clear-headed day at the office or one filled with distractions, say scientists. A study, published in the journal Sleep Health, found that reducing your sleep routine during the work-week greatly interferes with job performance. The researchers from University of South Florida in the US found workers are more likely to have poor judgement and fall off-task the next day. Researchers surveyed 130 healthy employees who work in Information Technology and have at least one school-aged child.

Participants reported that when they slept 16 minutes less than usual and had worse quality sleep, they experienced more cognitive issues the next day. That raised their stress levels, especially regarding issues related to work-life balance, resulting in them going to bed earlier and waking up earlier due to fatigue.
