Human Resources
Poor sleep quality affects work performance. The effects of sleep loss
on work performance are costing U.S. employers tens of billions of dollars a
year in lost productivity. It’s time to make sleep a priority!
Employees
with untreated sleep apnea put themselves and your company at great risk!
A major detriment of untreated sleep apnea is excessive daytime sleepiness which
is the feeling of being tired or of wanting to nap often throughout the day.
According to a recent National Sleep Foundation’s Sleep in America poll, with
a targeted random sample of 1,000 Americans, in one month:
- 29% polled fell asleep or became very sleepy at work;
- 36% have nodded off or fallen asleep while driving; with 26% driving
drowsy during the workday;
- 12% were late to work because of sleepiness.
Sleepy workers are dangerous, less productive, and a major source of
increased health-care costs and corporate liability. Studies show
sleeplessness to be a factor in 90 percent of accidents resulting from human
error. The legal concerns and performance problems resulting from sleep
apnea requires a proactive approach.
At Sleep Apnea Solutions, we know that good sleep means good business and
with that, we proudly partner with our corporate customers to create a Sleep
Apnea Healthy and Safety Program that best suits your needs.
