39.8% of Australian adults experience some form of inadequate sleep. In Australia this equates to productivity losses of $17.9 billion, or $2,418 per person with inadequate sleep.*
Improving the sleep health of your staff is vital as we become increasingly aware of the relationship between insufficient sleep and reduced motivation, poor mental health, reduced attendance and decreased work performance.
Good quality sleep helps:
Optimise motivation and work performance
Support our mental health and resilience
Promote positive relationship building and decision making
Improve energy levels, metabolism and immune system, along with all areas of physical health
