Briefings

New research from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and other institutions indicates that inadequate sleep significantly increases the likelihood of workplace conflicts between employees and their supervisors. The study highlights a direct causal link between sleep deprivation and interpersonal friction, suggesting that sleep quality is a critical factor in maintaining professional relationships. While the findings are promising, the evidence is currently limited to observational data and preliminary studies, and the specific mechanisms linking sleep to conflict remain to be fully understood.

Key points

• Studies from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and other institutions confirm that poor sleep increases the probability of employees clashing with supervisors.
• The research establishes a direct link between sleep deprivation and increased interpersonal conflict in professional settings.

Context and limitations

The evidence is limited to observational studies and preliminary research; specific causal mechanisms remain unproven. Data collection may be incomplete, and the study period is restricted to the timeframe of the research.
