Trouble sleeping? Blame your bullying boss and co-workers

Updated

Perhaps your boss is a screamer. Or maybe he gets off on saying he should never, ever have hired you. Maybe it's your coworker who's always blabbing to other colleagues about the mistakes you've supposedly made on the job.

If any of these situations sound familiar, you're probably dealing with a workplace bully. And it isn't pretty. Now, just in time for Labor Day, a study in the scientific journal SLEEP finds that exposure to bullying in the workplace can seriously disturb sleep. That, of course, comes on top of the headaches, reduced productivity, and other problems that abuse at the office can cause.
