Does lack of sleep harm your organization?

M121 - History Grid

The impact

There are 5 significant sleep-related business costs that are hurting your organization.
Let’s review each of them under the assumption
that your employees earn an average salary of
$80,000 per year.1

1. Increased productivity losses

Employees with poor sleep will miss work up to 3 times more often than good sleepers and have their productivity negatively impacted up to 46 days per year.1

Over half of us (51%) suffer from poor sleep to some degree3, including the 19%2 of the general population that experience chronic insomnia. In professions with non-daytime schedules or rotating shifts, the chronic insomnia rate can be twice as high. No matter your organization, sleep-related issues are creating a real but often invisible productivity burden.

2. More frequent and higher disability leave costs

Poor sleepers are 4.6 times more likely to go on disability leave than good sleepers.4 With that in mind, it’s no wonder that 33% of all claimants experience chronic insomnia at the time they go on disability.4

Poor sleep has been shown by repeated studies to be strongly associated with mental health issues, including anxiety and depression.4

3. Increased absence-replacement costs

High rates of sleep-related absenteeism and disability leave also drive higher replacement costs for roles that require replacement workers when an employee doesn’t show up.

4. More frequent and costly workplace accidents and errors

Poor sleep is responsible for nearly 25% of the total cost of all workplace accidents and errors.6 Being awake for 17 hours is similar to having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05%, while being awake for 24 hours is similar to having a BAC of 0.10%(above the legal limit of 0.08%).7

Poor sleep drives a range of symptoms that have an insidious effect on safety, including difficulty concentrating and focusing as well as poor decision-making. 

5. Prescription medication costs

On average, roughly 10% of workers depend on prescription medication to sleep.8 In professions with non-daytime schedules or rotating shifts the prescription medication rate for sleep can be significantly higher.9

Improved sleep leads
to improved mental health

With existing corporate wellness and mental health initiatives, ongoing stigma and preconceptions can mean employees are wary of making use of the resources available to them. The uptake of clinical mental-health solutions offered by employers is often well below 1%. Fortunately, employees are much less reluctant when it comes to enrolling in sleep programs, as it can be easier and less stigmatizing to talk about sleep habits than depression or other mental health concerns.
Furthermore, a large body of research demonstrates that improving sleep significantly improves symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental issues.
 
In real-world use, many HALEO customers achieve engagement rates of 25% or higher. Improved sleep leads to improved mental health 14 Understanding the hidden business costs of poor sleep By treating sleep, we can put employees on the path to improving their overall health and well-being, significantly reducing stress, as well as symptoms of depression and anxiety.
 
75% of individuals who enter our clinic with symptoms of insomnia, and who also show moderate to severe depression and/or anxiety, show significant clinical improvement of these symptoms by the end of treatment.
