Sleep Deprivation

We live in a 24/7 world, I get it. But there are real dangers to not getting enough sleep. If you've ever come close to nodding off in the boardroom or behind the wheel, you know that the effects of sleep deprivation can range from embarrassing to downright terrifying. Sleep deprivation is the single most dangerous aspect of any sleep disorder, because you have no idea that you are compromised cognitively, physically and emotionally. Hopefully that will make you think twice before finishing that app development project late at night. Also, there's no one "ideal" amount of sleep. Some people function just fine on seven hours, whereas others need a heftier nine. We all need to be at our thinking, feeling and reactive best in order to thrive and stay safe. In most cases, a little extra shut-eye will get you there! Sleep tight!

  2. Sometimes there are very short deadlines for the web development projects and many of the people work remotely so there is a difference in time zones. Internet phone services come in very useful in those cases.
