Following the U.S. magazine “Experimental Psychology” and representatives of the company from other countries, the American division of Garmin for four days, conducted an experiment among 10 volunteers from among its employees, dividing them into two groups of five.

One group was asked to sleep for 6 to 8 hours a day, while the other group was asked to limit their sleep to four hours. The experiment was conducted between December 10th and 14th of this year. In an experiment, employees were surveyed and evaluated their feelings and level of anger twice a day – at the beginning of the work day and at the end of the day. Questionnaires throughout the experiment contained a number of the same questions and were related directly to the assessment of fatigue, aggression, anxiety.

The test subjects also wore the company’s Instinct smartwatch for the entire four days, which measured their stress level one of the functions of the device and their heart rate. So, those employees who had enough sleep did not have stress levels higher than 60/100. Employees who did not get enough sleep came to work with a stress level of 50, and during the day it reached 85-90 units out of 100.

Not to mention the fact that the employees who did not get enough sleep for 2 to 3 hours a day worked less efficiently and their reactions were slower. Sleep loss was also associated with an increase in negative emotions, such as anxiety and sadness. Most of the participants felt apathy, not only in the performance of their duties, but also in their personal affairs by their own admission .

Thus, it is safe to say that lack of sleep not only causes a decrease in employee efficiency, but also an increase in conflict in the workplace and even a decline in the global economy. In 2017, the National Agency for Financial Research NAFI already reported that American employers lose 2.3 trillion Dollars a year because their employees do not get enough sleep.
