Teach your employees better sleep habits.

SLEEP: YOUR #1 PERFORMANCE ENHANCER.

Employees who get seven to nine hours of quality sleep every night have higher cognitive functioning. This means fewer errors, better problem solving, more capacity for creative thinking, and better communication and collaboration skills. They also have stronger immune systems — which means they’re less likely to engage in presenteeism or absenteeism — are more satisfied with life, and are less likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, or other lifestyle diseases.

Sleep deprived employees, anyone getting under seven hours of sleep a night, not only see a decline in their cognitive functioning, but in their emotional control. As the connection between the prefrontal cortex (logical reasoning) and the amygdala (our primal emotional brain) loosens—due to lack of sleep—they become up to 60% more impulsive and more prone to depression. Sleep deprived employees also become worse at learning new skills, remembering, and the rate of accidents and errors rises.

Sleep deprivation among the U.S. workforce costs us approximately $411 billion dollars a year.

Companies who promote good sleep habits within their wellness programs see an exponential increase in productivity, communication, collaboration, and creativity across workforces. They also see a reduction in healthcare costs associated with lifestyle diseases related to poor sleep habits, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, depression, ADHD, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.
