This chapter discusses the relationship between sleep deprivation and productivity. It explains that even though people may not feel impaired when they are sleep-deprived and consume caffeinated beverages, their productivity is actually affected. Under-slept employees are less likely to take on challenging tasks, produce creative solutions, collaborate effectively, and are perceived as less charismatic by their employees. The chapter emphasizes the importance of valuing sleep for optimal productivity.
