7 Ways Sleep Impacts Your Work

Screen-Shot-2014-09-30-at-10.53.56-AM-e1412088865190The Huffington Post highlights seven ways sleep can affect you on the job — and even your company’s bottom line.

1. Getting too little (or too much!) sleep can mean more sick days: “A recent study in the journal Sleep showed that sleeping fewer than five hours or more than 10 hours a night is associated with staying home sick for 4.6 to 8.9 more days than people who sleep between seven and eight hours a night.”

2. Getting enough sleep keeps you thinking creatively: “Sleep is associated with innovation, and being deprived of it is associated with impairment in the mental ability.”

3. Sleep deprivation is hurting your employer — and the economy: “In fact, sleep deprivation could be costing $63 billion to the U.S. economy each year due to lost productivity, according to a Harvard study.”

4. A lack of sleep can make you less productive: “The more sleep-deprived you are, the slower you become at getting tasks done at work, according to a 2012 Journal of Vision study.”

5. Yes, sleep might have an impact on your wages: “As The Wall Street Journal pointed out recently, research shows that for people who are already not getting enough sleep, one extra hour in average sleep over the long run is associated with a 16 percent increase in wages.”

6. Sleep strengthens the sort of memory that can help you on the job: “In a 2011 study, Michigan State researchers showed that sleep seems to improve what is called working memory capacity.”

7. Getting enough Zzs could mean less risk for job burnout: “A 2012 study showed that getting fewer than six hours of sleep is a predictor of job burnout, as well as difficulties detaching from thoughts of work during leisure time.”

The success we have at Finish Line Chiropractic would not be possible without the marketing system we have in place. Our marketing development coordinator, Kay Grobel, is what holds it all together. She is great at contacting people and building relationships, which has then turned into great opportunities for us to get in front of various businesses and groups. She is great at organizing events and helping make sure they go smoothly. We also utilize various marketing tools and programs, which h…
Chronic disease related to lifestyle account for 70% of the nation’s medical costs.
After hosting 24 CPC BNG events, we were a little nervous bringing in a “body” speaker to address our business folks, as most of our speakers have focused on “head and/or heart” topics in the past. Well, Dr.Natalie addressed the whole brain and body and hit it out of the park. She reminded us we cannot serve our God-given missions if we have a weak, unhealthy body. And so much disease comes from what we put in our mouths and lifestyle habits. As we know, obesity, diabetes, ADHD, depr…
What I live for is my life is my family. My wife is a strong believer of “real foods”, eating healthy and exercising. I thought I already had a head start regarding healthy living before meeting Dr. Gianforte. I was correct, but she explained to me that wise old tail about eating right and exercising just wasn’t enough. Sleep, posture and how your internal body works, all have to be in sync for optimum results. I learned quite a few fun facts about my daily routine and how I can change the…
About 108 million people in the U.S. have at least one chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, hypertension or osteoarthritis.

A few months ago I met Kay on the golf course. Who knew spinning a wheel would change my lifestyle. After winning a complementary Workplace Wellness visit for our company it gave me a new way of thinking about seeing a chiropractor. I have to admit; at first I was in it for the free lunch, but when Kay, Dr. James, and Dr. Ashley visited us it was far more than just a lunch. Everyone at our office enjoyed learning more about healthy choices that we should be making and knowing some of the comm…
I would like to share my personal story on what Dr. Jim and Finish Line Chiropractic have done for my health. I have suffered from sinus infections for years and I have been on antibiotics 4-6 times a year for at least 10 years. It was recommended that I go through surgery to help open up my sinuses. I was miserable. My good friend Kay Grobel recommended that I come and see Dr. Jim at Finish Line Chiropractic. On my first visit I explained my concern about my sinus issues, and he shared with m…
In the fall of 2012, Dr. James came to my company for a lecture about food, wellness and toxicity. AsianCircle, an employee resource group, brought him in to educate us in the fall 2012. They were so impressed with the talk and feedback from the employees that they invited him back for a follow-up lecture in May of 2013 during the annual Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM). During the month of May, AsianCircle invites different doctors & professionals to talk about different topics on …
