recognized.

Can Sleep and Exercise Calm Corporate America? A study on the effects of sleepiness in the workplace.
This study was conducted to evaluate the psychological effects of sleep or lack of sleep in the workplace. Factors of interest included
interpersonal conflict, job satisfaction, moral, etc. All of the 48 participants, employees from three departments in a hospital, were
given verbal and written guidelines to improve quality and quantity of sleep through good sleep hygiene. Exercise was included as a
mandatory activity as it is one of the most basic and most important sleep hygiene rules. Participants were assessed for physical
fitness prior to the onset of the study. In addition, each participant completed a measurement tool for sleep habits and one for total
wellness. The total wellness tool measured mental, emotional, social, and physical wellness. The same measures were taken at the end
of the study. Each participant also kept daily logs to record certain activities such as sleep, exercise, consumption of caffeine and
consumption of alcohol. Sixty-three percent of the individuals who completed all of the measurement tools and made at least one
positive change in their sleep hygiene reported some degree of improvement in EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness). Twenty-three
percent of the total number of participants reported some degree of improvement. Of the eleven people who completed all of the
necessary measurement tools and fulfilled at least one of their commitments, seven experienced some positive change in perceived
EDS. Using the Wilcoxen test, six of 30 statements showed significant improvement in EDS.
