Do U.S. executives recognize the damage to their business that sleep deprivation causes?
A recent survey of 196 corporate leaders by McKinsey, the global consulting giant, found that 43 percent reported not getting enough sleep at least four nights a week.

McKinsey also reported that nearly half of those surveyed did not believe that lack of sleep had a major impact on performance.
