You can anticipate having to handle more high-level responsibilities as a manager than you would as an employee. Overworked, however, is not a part of your job description. Since good health is essential for performing your job properly, you must nevertheless put your own health and work-life balance above both. When you are overworked, you are less able to contribute resources, spend time speaking with your staff, and marshal the patience necessary for specific tasks. You could find it difficult to concentrate since your mind is continually wandering to the list of things that still need to be done.

Being the high achiever that you are, you probably think there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done, so you put yourself under too much stress. As a result, you begin to underestimate or downplay the need of sleep, and you can grow irritated at your need for sleep. You believe that your time might be better spent on more worthwhile endeavours. Sleep has a crucial function in helping you feel relaxed and renewed, though. So having trouble sleeping is another indication that you are overworked.

Your mind simply won't shut down, making it difficult for you to fall asleep even when you try your hardest to do so. Lack of sleep leads to low energy levels, a compromised immune system, and frequent mood fluctuations. As a result of insomnia or sleep deprivation, you may also entertain unfavourable self-talk that makes you question your professional skills and unhappy with your surroundings, your coworkers, and your job. In addition to your personal and professional connections, the quality of your work suffers when you are overworked.
