One example: my usually cheerful and energetic colleague Katherine suddenly started procrastinating at work, even falling asleep during meetings. At night, she woke up from unpleasant and uncontrollable urges to move her legs. The unexpected reason turned out to be due to Katherine's new vegetarian diet, which she started a few months ago - without meat, her diet no longer had the iron she needed. As a result, she developed restless legs syndrome, which made sleep a real challenge. Simple solution: her doctor prescribed iron supplements and started monitoring her levels. Now Katherine sleeps like a baby and is full of energy back at the office.
