The tags page was annoying me so I changed the journal style - I hope you guys don't mind. If anyone has a better suggestion, let's hear it!
[I suppose this one spoke to me since it's called "Starry Night.]
Also, how does one get rid of the fucking "search" feature on the left hand side? Unless anyone particularly wants it there, do any of the other mods want to get rid of that?
Finally:
Workplace Bullying is Associated with Sleep Disturbances
A study in the Sept.1 issue of the journal SLEEP shows that current or past exposure to workplace bullying is associated with increased sleep disturbances. Associations also were found between observed bullying and sleep disruption, indicating that bullying has detrimental effects even when it is experienced indirectly. The study shows a high prevalence of workplace bullying, with 11 percent of women and nine percent of men experiencing “hostile behavior” in the work environment at least weekly and for at least six months during the previous 12 months. After adjustment for covariates such as age, occupation, weekly work hours and depressive symptoms, exposure to bullying was significantly associated with self-reported sleep disturbances. The adjusted odds ratio of having disturbed sleep was more than two times higher in men who currently were experiencing workplace bullying (OR=2.29) or had been exposed to daily or almost daily bullying (OR=2.39); women were nearly two times more likely to report having sleep disturbances if they had experienced daily or almost daily bullying (OR=1.73) or had been exposed to bullying for more than five years (OR=1.87).
