A good night's sleep may be  the  best
remedy  for a bad day at work, a new University of Florida  study
has revealed.

The  researchers  found that employees who  have  stressful  days
bring  their negative moods home with them at night, but in  most
cases they disappear by morning,thus hinting a link between sleep
and de-stressing.

"The boundaries between work and family are pretty permeable, and
this  is one more piece of evidence that people do tend  to  take
their work home.The one comfort is that the effect is short-lived
and gone by the next day," Timothy Judge,the UF researcher said.

Judge  is  hopeful  that  the findings can  give  an  insight  to
employers  trying to develop workplace environments that lead  to
enjoyment  and  satisfaction on the job,  which  boosts  employee
performance.

"If  employers  care about the work-family  balance  achieved  by
their employees, and there is reason to believe that they  should
,they  can contribute to positive moods in both work  and  family
life by the way they treat employees," Judge added.

The   study  found  that  the  amount  of   spillover   employees
experienced  both at home and work depended on whether they  were
introverts or extroverts. Extroverts were more likely to go  home
and  talk about the day's experiences than were  introverts,  who
tended to keep their frustrations bottled up.

"For  employees, this spillover effect provides further  evidence
of  the  importance of being in a satisfying job. As  far  as  we
know, no one has ever looked at the spillover of job attitudes to
mood at home that same day, and then followed it the next day (at
work) as well," he said.(ANI)
