4. Difficulty Making Decisions
A difficulty in making decisions could have exhaustion as the root cause. Sleep deprivation can affect higher-level cognitive processing, leading to difficulty in managing time effectively.
Most significantly, research shows a correlation between inadequate sleep and an increase in risk-taking behaviors. A study of sleep-deprived subjects found that they considered their risky behavior safer than they did when they had experienced an adequate amount of sleep. Sleep-deprived workers, therefore, weren’t aware that they were taking greater risks than they would under normal conditions.
