<\/a>When we stop sleeping to spend more hours connected, our productivity, creativity and resilience breaks.<\/p><\/div>\n
Sleeping boosts creativity<\/a>, it helps you better handle your emotions and sharpens your attention. Getting a good night’s rest is a basic rule for high-achiever athletes and masters of productivity, so why can’t we sleep at work to better our development?<\/p>\n A nap can do wonders, we’ve all experienced it. So it’s kind of logical we do it in the place where we spend 9-10 hours every day.<\/p>\n Mark Rosekind, PhD, once head of NASA’s “Fatigue<\/a> Countermeasures Program” and current board member for the National Sleep Foundation, says that if people need to sleep to improve productivity, we must let them.<\/p>\n Rosekind led a NASA simulation investigation to test fatigue on pilots, and the results of napping were clear.<\/p>\n During every test flight, the brain and eye activity of the pilots were monitored and registered, demonstrating the split-seconds of microsleep<\/em> the body puts us in when one is dozing off.<\/p>\n The results showed that pilots who were allowed a 40 to 45-minute nap improved their performance by 34% and their alertness by 54%, experiencing far less microsleep<\/em> than the pilots not allowed to nap.<\/p>\n Sara Mednick<\/a>, a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, said in The New York Times<\/a> that daytime napping can boast many of the same benefits of overnight sleep if it is of a specific quality, as it helps with alertness and perception.<\/p>\nNASA tests quick napping<\/strong><\/h2>\n
