The Stress Sleep Relationship

How do you handle stress?

How do you adjust your workload?

How do you adjust your sleep amount?

Which suffers in favor of the other?

Increasing our workload is a typical response.

Decreasing our sleep amount is another.

Yet, the right move is the other way around.

Less sleep increases stress and exhaustion.

Exhaustion decreases productivity and quality.

This increases the amount of stress.
