The Need to Sleep:
- Drowsiness or just under-performance is to be expected when employees don't sleep well.
- Sleep is essential for both mind & body. Yet good sleep habits aren't taught in school, and few people know how to identify, not to mention address sleeping disorders.

How We Help:
- Educating the entire workforce on importance of good sleep habits.
- Help employees who are "healthy" but have developed some bad sleep habits.
- Helping employees see if they have a serious disorder.
- Coach those employees with disorders on how to overcome their problems and get better sleep.

A Sound Sleep Strategy
Does your company have a strategy for addressing bad sleep habits and managing chronic sleep problems?
If not, then a good place to start is with 3 questions:
|
|
|
| |
Yes, there is a lot of science and the statistics behind sleep deprivation.
But you can probably answer this question based on just your own experience – even if you usually sleep well:
Remember those nights when the neighbors were throwing a party, or you had to work late on some huge project, or you simply had difficulty falling asleep?
Now remember work the next day: how you were dragging the next morning or started to “space out” around mid-afternoon. Was your productivity cut by 5%? Maybe 10%? Or is 25% or 50% closer to the mark? |
Here’s some statistics to help extrapolate from your own experience (from a February 2008 study of 19,589 adults by the Centers for Disease Control):
- 38% of people did not get enough sleep in 7 or more days a month
- About 10% did not get enough sleep every day of the month
- Conclusion: 50-70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep loss and sleep disorders
With sleep deprivation running rampant, it’s easy to guess some of the drawbacks:
- Lower productivity from both physical & mental fatigue.
- Mistakes that cause delays, result in waste, or even workplace accidents.
- Traffic accidents during the early-morning or late-day commute.
- Poor morale – for the sleep-deprived employees and their co-workers
Sleep-related fatigue costs businesses $150 billion a year in absenteeism, workplace accidents, and other lost productivity. And then of course there are the healthcare . And then of course there are the healthcare costs. The National Academy of Sciences estimates that sleep disorders account for $16 billion a year in medical costs.
And the medical costs aren’t just those of treating sleep disorders. There’s also the additional cost of the other chronic diseases that are associated with or exacerbated by poor sleep:
- Obesity – because lack of good sleep inhibits healthy hormones
- Diabetes – which is associated with sleep disorders like apnea
- Hypertension – which also associated with apnea
- Chronic heart disease – because apnea puts stress on your heart too

Cost-Containment Companies
- Lower healthcare costs – Sleep disorders are linked to and/or exacerbate a large number of other chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, chronic heart disease, and obesity
- Lower workplace accidents – Researchers estimate that Research has shown that people with certain sleep disorders are 3-5 times more likely to have an accident.
- Lower workplace mistakes – Whether on the manufacturing line, in the call-center, or on the computer, many costly workplace mistakes are a function of fatigue.
- Maintain morale – Being sleep deprived can lead to depression, especially in a tough environment...and working alongside a grumpy colleague is no fun either!

Most companies have no one doing any of these important functions.
If you have a Wellness Program that’s missing a sleep component, then don’t start shopping around for a new vendor – sleep is rarely included in general wellness programs.
If you haven’t yet invested in a Wellness Program, then Sleep is the smartest place to start – the least cost, the most immediate productivity benefits, and the easiest to implement!
