However, we know little about daily mechanisms linking sleep, work performance, and WTFC. This study tested whether previous nights{\textquoteright} sleep was linked to next day WTFC, mediated by work performance. Design Daily interview methodology. Setting US extended-care workplaces. Participants One hundred seventy-one female employees with children aged 9 to 17 years. Measurements In telephone interviews on 8 consecutive evenings, participants reported their daily work performance (work productivity, work quality), WTFC (e.g., {\textquotedblleft}how much did things you wanted to do at home not get done because of the demands your job put on you?{\textquotedblright}), and previous nights{\textquoteright} sleep duration (in hours) and sleep quality (1 = very badl}, keywords = {Daily telephone interview, Female employees, Sleep duration, Sleep quality, Work performance, Work-to-family conflict}, issn = {2352-7218}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2018.07.005}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352721818301220}, author = {Lawson, Katie M and Lee, Soomi} }
