If your employees are like the rest of the US population, they may be sleep deprived, exhausted, and irritable. We can help.
Sleep is the third pillar of health with nutrition and exercise. Proper sleep improves productivity, increases morale, and reduces healthcare costs for employers.
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), more than 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep-related disorder, and fatigue resulting from sleep deprivation cost US employers about $136 billion in - $1,200 to $3,100 per employee - health-related productivity loss every year.
Mounting evidence suggests that a good night's sleep seriously boosts productivity. One study of 4,188 U.S. workers found "significantly worse productivity, performance, and safety outcomes" among those who slept less, and estimated a $1,967 loss in productivity per worker due to poor sleep.
Sleep makes you feel better, but science is recognizing its importance goes way beyond just boosting your mood. Studies show 15-20 percent of people who are dealing with insomnia (an inability to fall asleep) go on to develop serious mental depression. Untreated Sleep Apnea results in increased risk of hypertension, heart disease and stroke. Healthy sleep can have a profound and lasting positive health impact.
Untreated sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, can profoundly increase healthcare expenditures. A well designed sleep health program can result in both direct and immediate savings, as well as indirect savings as employee health improves. The annual estimated US cost burden of untreated sleep apnea alone is estimated at 149 billion per year!
