Sleep Survey
Pesquisa do Sono
1º PARÁGRAFO:
According to recent medical research, sleeping more than nine hours or less than six hours a night can __________ your life expectancy. Those who are likely to live longest are people who regularly get between seven and eight hours a night. A survey of 1,000 adults conducted by the Better Sleep Council (BSC) found that few people understand the important role sleep plays in normal daily brain functions, and many people actually reduce their brain power by getting too little sleep.
De acordo com pesquisas médicas recentes, dormir mais de nove horas ou menos de seis horas por noite pode reduzir sua expectativa de vida. Aqueles que provavelmente viverão mais são aqueles que passam regularmente entre sete e oito horas por noite. Uma pesquisa com 1.000 adultos conduzida pelo Better Sleep Council (BSC) descobriu que poucas pessoas entendem o importante papel que o sono desempenha nas funções cerebrais diárias normais, e muitas pessoas realmente reduzem sua capacidade cerebral ao dormirem muito pouco.
2º PARÁGRAFO:
One in three adults admit that they do not get enough sleep, and lack of sleep is leaving millions of people without the energy to work as hard as they should. Although a large number of people say that they need to be mentally alert in their work, over half of the people interviewed say that they sleep just under seven hours a night during the week. On the other hand, most of the people interviewed say that they sleep more than seven hours a night on weekends. This suggests that a significant number of people try to catch up on their sleep on weekends instead of getting enough sleep during the week, when they need it most.
Um em cada três adultos admite que não dorme o suficiente, e a falta de sono está a deixar milhões de pessoas sem energia para trabalhar tão arduamente como deveriam. Embora um grande número de pessoas afirme que precisam estar mentalmente alertas no seu trabalho, mais de metade das pessoas entrevistadas afirmam que dormem pouco menos de sete horas por noite durante a semana. Por outro lado, a maioria das pessoas entrevistadas afirma dormir mais de sete horas por noite nos finais de semana. Isto sugere que um número significativo de pessoas tenta recuperar o sono nos fins de semana, em vez de dormir o suficiente durante a semana, quando mais precisam.
3º PARÁGRAFO:
According to this survey, nearly half of the population believes that the brain rests when the body sleeps. In fact, the opposite is true. Sleep allows the brain to go to work, filing and storing the day’s events. “Most people incorrectly think the brain is resting or recuperating during sleep. Actually, some parts of the brain are more active when you’re asleep,” confirms Dr. Mark Mahowald, director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center. “Your brain is like a cluttered desktop at the end of the day. At night, when you’re asleep and no more information can be put on the desk, or in your brain, your brain can then file away the information.”
Segundo esta pesquisa, quase metade da população acredita que o cérebro descansa quando o corpo dorme. Na verdade, o oposto é verdadeiro. O sono permite que o cérebro trabalhe, arquivando e armazenando os acontecimentos do dia. “A maioria das pessoas pensa incorretamente que o cérebro está descansando ou se recuperando durante o sono. Na verdade, algumas partes do cérebro ficam mais ativas quando você dorme”, confirma o Dr. Mark Mahowald, diretor do Centro Regional de Distúrbios do Sono de Minnesota. “Seu cérebro é como uma área de trabalho desordenada no final do dia. À noite, quando você está dormindo e nenhuma informação pode ser colocada na mesa ou em seu cérebro, seu cérebro pode então arquivar as informações.

Ele dita a forma do futuro imediato, acalma você (está tudo bem, está em uma lista em algum lugar) e faz você se sentir bem quando risca algo (fazer listas é uma prática padrão na terapia para depressão).

4º PARÁGRAFO:
James Oliver, a psychologist, has created his own “timemanagement matrix.”
James Oliver, psicólogo, criou sua própria “matriz de gerenciamento de tempo”. 
He writes a list of things to do and then organizes the items into categories: things that have to be done right away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but don’t have to be done immediately, and things that are less urgent but that he doesn’t want to forget.
Ele escreve uma lista de coisas para fazer e depois organiza os itens em categorias: coisas que precisam ser feitas imediatamente, outras coisas que seria bom fazer hoje, coisas que são importantes mas não precisam ser feitas imediatamente, e coisas menos urgentes, mas que ele não quer esquecer. 
“Using categories to organize the world is the way the human mind works,” he says.
“Usar categorias para organizar o mundo é a forma como a mente humana funciona”, diz ele. 
“After that, you should put things into hierarchies of importance.”
“Depois disso, você deve colocar as coisas em hierarquias de importância.”
But he warns against the danger of Excessive List Syndrome.
Mas ele alerta contra o perigo da Síndrome da Lista Excessiva.
“If people get obsessed with making lists, it doesn’t work. They have too many categories and lose their capacity to prioritize.”
“Se as pessoas ficam obcecadas em fazer listas, não funciona. Elas têm muitas categorias e perdem a capacidade de priorizar.”

I’m a boss and I say we should work less
Sou chefe e digo que deveríamos trabalhar menos
David Goldman
If there’s one thing the pandemic taught us all it’s that work is tiring whether we’re doing it from the office or from home.
Se há uma coisa que a pandemia nos ensinou é que o trabalho é cansativo, quer o façamos no escritório ou em casa.
Unproductive jobs led millions of people to drop out of the workforce altogether and a record number of Americans have quit their jobs because of burnout, low pay, childcare and eldercare.
Empregos improdutivos levaram milhões de pessoas a abandonar completamente a força de trabalho e um número recorde de americanos abandonaram os seus empregos devido ao esgotamento, aos baixos salários, aos cuidados infantis e aos idosos. 
To entice people back into the job market, employers have increased payment.
Para incentivar as pessoas a voltarem ao mercado de trabalho, os empregadores aumentaram os salários. 
However, inflation has wiped that away and it hasn’t worked.
No entanto, a inflação eliminou isso e não funcionou.
So here’s a crazy solution: let people work less.
Então aqui está uma solução maluca: deixar as pessoas trabalharem menos.
I know, it sounds radical, but workers are really into the idea and they are more productive.
Eu sei, parece radical, mas os trabalhadores estão realmente interessados ​​na ideia e são mais produtivos.
For the past eight weeks, thousands of people in the United Kindgom have tested a four-day schedule - with no cut to their pay.
Nas últimas oito semanas, milhares de pessoas no Reino Unido testaram um horário de quatro dias – sem qualquer corte nos seus salários.
Unsurprisingly, some workers have said they feel happier, healthier and are doing better in their jobs.
Não é de surpreender que alguns trabalhadores disseram que se sentem mais felizes, mais saudáveis ​​e que têm um desempenho melhor no seu trabalho.
In 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted we would be working 15-hour weeks by 2030, with hours in the office reducing over time.
Em 1930, o economista John Maynard Keynes previu que estaríamos trabalhando 15 horas semanais até 2030, com horas no escritório diminuindo com o tempo.
However, a 9 to 5, Monday to Friday shift became the norm and over time it became hard for businesses and workers to think differently.
No entanto, um turno das 9h às 17h, de segunda a sexta-feira, tornou-se a norma e, com o tempo, tornou-se difícil para as empresas e os trabalhadores pensarem de forma diferente.
You can present your boss all the data you want, but it’s unlikely you’re going to have success convincing management that the way to increase productivity and solve the labor shortage is to give everyone Friday off - forever.
Você pode apresentar ao seu chefe todos os dados que quiser, mas é improvável que tenha sucesso em convencer a administração de que a maneira de aumentar a produtividade e resolver a escassez de mão de obra é dar folga a todos na sexta-feira - para sempre.
