Before issuing a warning letter, please try to understand 'why they are sleeping at work':
1. What are they doing after working hours? Are they working somewhere else?
2. Are they experiencing low energy levels?
3. Is the nature of their work boring?
4. Is this behavior affecting the quality of their work?
5. Why are other employees allowing these individuals to sleep at work?
6. What is the supervisor's role in this situation? Is the supervisor also sleeping at work?
7. Do you believe that merely issuing a warning will deter them from sleeping?
Please ensure to address these questions and concerns before taking any disciplinary action.
