Episode 2155:
Dr. Jenny Brockis explains why the biggest threat to workplace productivity is not distraction but lack of sleep. She points out that most people need seven to eight hours, that no one can train themselves to need less, and that chronic sleep debt shows up at work as poorer decisions, weaker memory, and more mistakes. Her recommendation for anyone serious about performance is to treat good sleep habits as the first step rather than the last.
