The Sleep Revolution at Work: How Rest Can Supercharge Your Success

Why the best leaders and organizations are prioritizing sleep—and how you can, too.

For decades, the corporate world has celebrated the sleepless go-getter—the one who answers emails at midnight, skips lunch for meetings, and brags about surviving on four hours a night. But the tide is turning. In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna Huffington argues that true success starts with rest. The evidence is overwhelming: well-rested employees are more productive, less prone to mistakes, and more creative. Leaders who prioritize sleep are better decision-makers, more empathetic, and more inspiring.

Sleep deprivation costs businesses billions each year in lost productivity, absenteeism, and costly errors. Drowsy driving and workplace accidents are just the tip of the iceberg. But forward-thinking organizations are taking action—installing nap rooms, offering flexible schedules, and encouraging digital detox after hours. These changes aren’t just perks; they’re investments in health, morale, and long-term success.

Want to bring the sleep revolution to your own career? Start by setting boundaries: protect your evenings, avoid after-hours emails, and make sleep a non-negotiable priority. Encourage your team to do the same. The results speak for themselves—higher performance, happier employees, and a culture that values well-being over burnout.

Success isn’t about working longer—it’s about working smarter. And smart work starts with a good night’s sleep.
