“…Empirical studies (e.g. Pereira et al, , Pereira and Elfering, ) have not yielded a clear picture, with some studies showing an effect on one parameter, and others on another one; sleep fragmentation was the only variable that was always affected. Currently, therefore, we see no theoretical or empirical basis for assuming that any of these parameters should be affected more (or less) than the other ones.…”

The current study investigated the short-term effect of illegitimate tasks on sleep quality, assessed by actigraphy. Seventy-six employees of different service jobs participated in a 2-week data collection. Data were analysed by way of multilevel analyses. As predicted, illegitimate tasks were positively related to sleep fragmentation and sleep-onset latency, but not to sleep efficiency and not to sleep duration. Time pressure, social stressors at work and at home, and the value of the dependent variable from the previous day were controlled. Results confirm the predictive power of illegitimate tasks for a variable that can be considered crucial in the development of longterm outcomes of daily experiences.

“…Sonnentag et al, 2012). Future studies, however, might use more objective measures of sleep quality, using actigraphy which also allows distinguishing between subfacets of sleep quality in terms of sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, and sleep fragmentation (Pereira & Elfering, 2014).…”

While previous work on mindfulness has focused predominantly on the benefits of mindfulness and of mindfulness interventions, the present article addresses the question of how natural experiences of mindfulness can be promoted in the context of work. Accordingly, this article sheds light on day‐to‐day fluctuations in workload and recovery experiences (psychological detachment and sleep quality) as antecedents of state mindfulness. Furthermore, this study extends extant research that has documented beneficial effects of mindfulness on subsequent recovery experiences by arguing that the relationship between mindfulness and recovery experiences is reciprocal rather than unidirectional. Using an experience‐sampling design across five workdays and involving three daily measurement occasions, we found that sleep quality and workload were related to subsequent levels of mindfulness. While not displaying a significant direct relationship with mindfulness, psychological detachment was indirectly related to mindfulness via sleep quality. Fatigue was identified as an important mechanism explaining these relationships. Furthermore, findings confirmed that the relationship between mindfulness and recovery experiences is reciprocal rather than unidirectional. Taken together, this study contributes to an enriched understanding of the role of mindfulness in organizations by shedding light on factors that precede the experience of mindfulness and by pointing to the existence of gain spirals associated with recovery experiences and mindfulness.Practitioner points Organizations seeking to promote mindfulness among their workforce should try to keep workload to a manageable degree.Organizations may also pay attention to care for employees' day‐to‐day recovery as it has been shown to facilitate mindfulness.

“…Rather than including all four recovery experiences defined bySonnentag and Fritz (2007; psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery experiences, and control), we chose to focus on psychological detachment exclusively: Psychological detachment has been shown to be the recovery experience with the strongest relationship with other important psychological health outcomes, such as emotional exhaustion, health complaints, or depressive symptoms(Sonnentag & Fritz, 2007), and it has therefore been playing a central role in the recovery literature(Pereira & Elfering, 2014;Sonnentag, Arbeus, Mahn, & Fritz, 2014). Furthermore, theoretical work on mindfulness suggests that mindfulness should have strongest effects on psychological detachment, while relations with the other three recovery experiences are less obvious.…”

Although playing a crucial role for the prevention of long-term health impairment, interventions aiming at the improvement of employees' recovery processes are still scarce. In this study, we therefore investigated the effectiveness of a low-dose mindfulness intervention for recovery from work. In addition, differential responding to the treatment in terms of treatment-by-baseline interactions was studied. A sample of 140 employees participated in a randomized field experiment with a self-training and a wait-list control group. Three central recovery processes (psychological detachment, sleep quality, and sleep duration) were assessed with event-sampling methodology involving daily measurements over 10 workdays. Growth curve analyses revealed intervention effects on sleep quality and sleep duration. No effects were found for psychological detachment after work and for the proposed treatment-by-baseline interactions. Our findings are discussed in the context of occupational health promotion in general and mindfulnessbased interventions in specific. Practitioner pointsAlthough daily recovery from the demands of work has been shown to be vital for employee well-being and performance, research on how workplace interventions can help improve recovery is still scarce. This study investigated the effectiveness of a brief, economic mindfulness intervention on processes that are vital for recovery -psychological detachment, sleep quality, and sleep duration. Findings revealed positive effects of the intervention on sleep quality and duration, but not on psychological detachment.
