HR teams may want to help employees with another mental health-related endeavor that often takes place outside the workplace: sleep. More than half of American adults (58%) say they have difficulty getting a good night’s sleep on a regular basis.
The CDC recommends that adults (aged 18-60) between the ages of 18 and 60 get more than 7 hours of sleep a night, but 63% of those surveyed said they get less than 6 hours a night. Stress and financial stress are the two most common factors that affect workers’ sleep quality.
Why employers should care? A bad night’s sleep can have a big impact on the next day’s productivity. For example, a bad night’s sleep could lead to feeling disoriented (61%), failing to achieve goals (42%), or even going on sick leave (25%).
The Headspace’s chief people officer Karan Singh tells Fortune,
“Even though we don’t talk about it in a corporate environment, not having slept well puts you in a situation where you can’t perform well. And 25% of people missing a day at work clearly has a significant impact on productivity,”
