      "point": "One might conclude that every difficult conversation should be postponed after a bad night."

      "heading": "What the evidence cannot resolve",
      "point": "Experimental sleep deprivation is not equivalent to an ordinary night that is slightly too short, and an image-based task does not reproduce a working relationship."

      "heading": "A practical check in Berne",
      "point": "In Berne, a federal administration or public health unit, a telecoms service or a precision engineering company could test a rule for sensitive conversations following overnight work: offer a postponement where possible and, otherwise, explicitly check interpretations and restate decisions."
