Study: Lack of sleep can impact your work
A study shows that missing out on just 16 minutes of sleep a night can affect your job performance.

You probably know a lack of sleep can impact your work performance the next day.



But did you know by how much?



A study published in the journal "Sleep Health" says missing out on just 16 minutes of sleep can affect your job performance the next day.



The results include lack of judgment and a significant spike in stress levels.
