A working culture of total exhaustion

The Australian Financial Review --- Page: 64 : 31 October 2006
Original article by Bronwyn Fryer

ABIX Summary
Business people should not work to excess, to the point of exhaustion. Those who go with little sleep, working extra long hours, end up in a state of fatigue that is like being drunk. They simply cannot make smart decisions. They also pose a risk because they may make mistakes, or cause accidents. The body's circadian rhythm cannot be switched on to work extra long hours. A person who goes without sleep builds up a sleep debt and the body and mind force him or her to sleep eventually. Employee work time should be limited for this reason too. Shift workers have to have days off, so the body can rest and sleep can occur naturally. Originally published in "Harvard Business Review".
