How come our management and union "Sleep Experts" aren't suggesting this? Maybe they don't want to know the answer?

EEG Recording and Analysis for Sleep Research

 

Did you actually read this link? If so, how realistic would this be on a large scale basis? I say not even a remote possibility to conduct testing like this. Look at that equipment list...funny

 

Just some info on the issue being discussed.

The global consequences of sleep deprivation have been extensively studied in the past. A 2010 study, called effects of sleep deprivation on cognition, indicates that inadequate sleep can result in decreased every-day performance, reduced cognitive capacity and may even trigger emotional changes.

Meanwhile, a 2006 study, called changes in brain gene expression after long-term sleep deprivation, sought to understand some of the genetic alterations that occur in sleep-deprived rodents. The authors found that sleep deprivation provoked unfavorable inflammatory and stress responses in the cerebral cortex within the brains of tested animals.

Aside from this, an array of scientific studies have suggested a link between poor sleeping patterns and a host of common health conditions, including:

Impaired digestion
Reduction in growth hormones
Depression and altered sex-drive
Poor attention span and working memory
Obesity
Elevated blood pressure
