Dave very interesting research, sleep deprivation is more and more being linked to medical issues, but this is the first time I have seen it directly linked to a business ethics issue. I think that while the breaks and rest times make sense I have never been offered either during my corporate tenure. Days are usually so packed getting to eat lunch is often a challenge and usually occurs while on a conference call. This is then compounded by our busy after work time for many. For those that have kids the clock restarts as soon as the door is opened with homework issues, activities and prep for dinner and school the next day. Throw in a sick relative or child and the mix is really challenging. The sleep deprivation can become just part of life. I guess the question is how we can help people manage their schedules to accommodate sleep, at times its easier than others but how do we make sleep a priority? I know I couldn't say I am coming in late because my child was sick and I got no sleep it's not part of our culture in the US.
