Sleep deprivation remains widespread among leaders, and many leaders underestimate how much fatigue affects their performance. A new survey of 1,009 U.S. managers and executives suggests that the problem is less about individual sleep habits than about workplace culture: what leaders allow and what they praise can either protect sleep or encourage people to hide their tiredness. Research from the U.S. Army and a Fortune 500 company shows how changing leadership expectations and working conditions can improve employees' sleep without focusing on sleep itself. A 'recovery check' helps leaders examine their own habits, recognize signs of fatigue in their teams, and assess whether their organization supports or undermines sleep.
