During this National Career Week, sleep expert Martin Seeley at MattressNextDay explains how good sleep can help you climb the career ladder

In a world of hustle culture and rise-and-grind mentalities , a lot of us may be under the impression that in order to succeed, we need to be up early, working all hours of the day and replying to emails late at night. Having a side hustle is a great way to earn some extra cash, but that extra work often means you're getting a lot less sleep than you should be—with 25 per cent of people with side hustles working more than 50 hours a week.

But a lack of proper sleep can seriously affect your career, and according to Google trend data, searches for “too tired to work” have risen by 296 per cent recently. Sleep expert Martin Seeley at MattressNextDay reveals how good sleep is the key to climbing the career ladder.
