The Sleep Project

An excellent New Year read and great to see this theHRDIRECTOR article highlighting opportunities for employers in 2025 to focus on meaningful investment around mental health support for their workforce. Especially positive to see individual well-being support and a holistic approach to well-being given priority - along with mention of the impact of sleep deprivation on workplace productivity and overall wellness. We are firm advocates for employee wellness sitting at the core of organisational success, so this is a must read:

📣 What do Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, Gaby Thomas, and Tom Brady all have in common? (Clue: it involves sleep!) In our latest update, we dive into why quality rest is essential for performing at your best—both on and off the field—sharing three insights you won’t want to miss ⬇️

📣 Calling all HR leaders and Employee Wellness Managers - as you are busy planning for 2025 it's important to pause and reflect on a critical, but often overlooked factor in workplace productivity and employee wellness: 💤 SLEEP 💤 Did you know that poor sleep costs the UK economy £40 billion annually in lost productivity, equivalent to 1.86% of GDP*?  Well-rested employees are not only more productive, but also demonstrate better decision-making, creativity, and resilience. Yet, the modern workplace often undervalues the role of restorative sleep, leading to burnout, disengagement, and increased absenteeism. WHAT CAN WE DO? Incorporating sleep training and workshops into employee wellness programs can be a game-changer. By educating teams about sleep hygiene, providing resources for better rest, and normalising conversations about sleep, we can foster healthier, more energised workplaces. Imagine a culture where employees are empowered to bring their best selves to work—not because they pushed through exhaustion, but because they were supported to thrive holistically. That’s our mission and one we can build together for your business. So, if you are searching for the perfect workshop to kick off your 2025 employee wellbeing programme, drop a 👋 below and we will send you our menu of corporate support packages.  #HRLeadership #EmployeeWellness #SleepTraining *Source: RAND Europe

At The Sleep Project, we’re pleased to see Dr. Caitlin Chasser bringing attention to the critical role of sleep in leadership and performance. Her recent seminar series on the Superpowers of Sleep at IE Business School and IE Business School showcased how sleep science can be applied to real-world challenges, equipping future leders with valuable insights for their personal and professional lives. It’s great to see educators and students alike embracing the importance of sleep for thriving in today’s demanding world. #SleepHealth #Education #ThePowerOfSleep #TheSleepProject

"Employers have a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to foster a workplace culture that supports both mental health and sleep health, especially for men who may feel additional barriers to seeking help." The impact of sleep and mental health in the workplace is significant, and it is encouraging to see companies increasingly offer the support that is so necessary. Over on our blog we outline how these four simple steps can make a huge difference for men's wellbeing:  ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ex3cqvg8

Some conversations are hard to start, especially in the workplace.... ...and often so when it comes to sleep, and / or mental health. But this is what you need to know: 💤 There is a significant connection between Mental Health and Sleep, with adults suffering from insomnia 2-4 X more likely to develop a mental health condition over time, so recognising the impact of poor sleep (early on) is vitally important 💤 Every mental health condition is associated with sleep disturbances, so treating sleep issues can be as powerful and effective as taking medication, particularly for anxiety and depression. But because both are so closely interrelated, it's a chicken and egg situation - which you do solve first? From our clinical work in practice, and from industry research, there is evidence to prove that seeking support for sleep issues can make a huge and positive impact on mental health. If you are an Employee Wellness lead, or work within the HR profession, these are conversations that may be happening with friends and family, but these supportive conversations and support could - and should - also be happening within the workplace too.
