Sleep deprivation does look to be a very serious problem in the workplace, as it's costing companies $63.2 billion in lost productivity among its sleepy workers, according to Harvard Medical School.

But, at the same time, it's terribly incomplete. In what way? It covers very little, if at all, of the nature and causes of sleep deprivation. To implement a costly and time-consuming solution, companies ought to be certain that they've fully understood why their workers are sleep-deprived and that their solutions are indeed targeted to their varied reasons.
