This symposium covers diverse aspects of the relationship between sleep, work performance, and well-being. The first study investigates the influence of entrepreneurs' creative work on entrepreneurial action, revealing that daily variations in entrepreneurial activities are linked to creative work, particularly when entrepreneurs experience poorer physical recovery. The second study focuses on professional handball players, finding that muscle soreness is associated with poorer sleep outcomes, with deep sleep quality significantly mediating the relationship between muscle soreness and cognitive focus. The third study explores the connection between nightly variations in sleep quantity and quality, particularly REM sleep, and improved employee task performance. The fourth study delves into the impact of sleep quality on work demands, highlighting the role of individual beliefs about sleep and proposing that addressing these beliefs could enhance workplace well-being. Lastly, a time- lagged design study reveals a bidirectional relationship between sleep and counterproductive work behaviors, challenging the assumption of a unidirectional link and demonstrating a complex, reciprocal relationship over time. Overall, the studies contribute valuable insights into the interplay between sleep, work-related outcomes, and well-being across different professional contexts, and inform setting up the work-nonwork interface in a way to maximize beneficial individual outcomes (focus, creativity, performance) and minimizing negative ones (strain, depletion, counterproductive work behavior). Taken together, themes of work-nonwork spill-over effects, conceptualizations of performance across contexts, demands/control and resource replenishment, and human sustainability emerge, and also a more objective approach of capturing sleep in natural settings using validated wearable devices with a longitudinal approach, comparing these to self-perceptions and individual beliefs of sleep.
