Workplace Wellness

Absenteeism and presenteeism (being at work but not fully functioning), workplace accidents and expensive mistakes are often a result of fatigue – which is typically the result of sleep deprivation.

One-third of life involves sleep, yet a third of the population suffers from chronic sleep disorders, be that insomnia or another sleep disorder.

Compared to healthy employees, sleep-deprived individuals:

• have increased sick days and absenteeism
• are less productive
• are less communicative
• are more argumentative/conflicting
• provide lower quality customer service
• have an increased likelihood of accidents and errors
• have difficulty learning and memorizing things
• retain fewer facts
• are often in a poor or depressed mood
• have lower morale
• take greater risks

Did you know?

Four or more nights of fewer than 7 hours’ sleep a night is the equivalent of one whole night of no sleep.
One whole night with no sleep can affect a person’s performance for up to two weeks.
