Description
Anna Kubota and colleagues test whether work performance sits between sleep quality and wellbeing in high-stress office workers in Japan, in a 2026 survey study. Poor sleep is known to drag wellbeing down, yet the steps in between are less clear. Showing up sick or drained, called presenteeism, was their candidate middle step.
One hundred twenty-nine workers filled tested scales for sleep, performance loss, and wellbeing. Poor sleep went with both worse performance and lower wellbeing. Mediation checks found performance loss carried part of the sleep effect, and the indirect path held after adjusting for age, hours, rank, smoking, and drinking. The authors say sleep programs at work may pay off twice, lifting both output and felt health.
