Hate your job? Maybe you're just tired . . .

We all go through some period of job dissatisfaction . . . the difference is the duration or what it motivates you to do. Now a new study says you might be able to blame some of your poor job outlook on your sleep habits.

University of Florida researchers report that a lack of sleep can cause people to "dislike and even hate their jobs the next morning."

Apparently women are more likely than men to want to call it all quits after a bad night as they "reported suffering more fatigue and hostility and being less attentive and happy."

So, who gets the biggest blame for making unhappy workers? Why, the boss of course . . .

• "With employers trying to squeeze every last bit of productivity out of employees and having them work extended hours, a 40-hour week is basically nonexistent anymore in some occupations"

In the end, companies are encouraged to do more to accommodate schedules and provide a few perks to help ease people along. And everyone is reminded that more exercise and less caffeine and alcohol can help improve the picture.

Ultimately, I offer this advice from an old friend:
"If all you ever do is (complain) about your job, it's time to get another job."
