How likely you are to lie today could depend on how well you slept last night. According to recent studies from three researchers, including Brian Gunia, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University's Carey Business School, people not only become less productive when they are tired, but they are also more likely to lie, cheat, or act unethically in other ways.
