Sleepy Worker

Companies have a high degree of expectations these days and this includes the area of production. However, there are issues today such as sleep that hinders them from performing up to par with what they are supposed to deliver. Some point towards lack of sleep as one main cause and most companies are experiencing this need today.

Sleep has become increasingly important. Aside from performance, it has contributed in becoming an obstacle for the worker today. Inattentiveness has become one key problem today. They end up encountering problems along the way and it has put their overall health and safety on the line.

Here is a survey made to justify the need of valuing sleep more.

Among the survey’s findings:

  • Dangers on the road. Thirty-six percent of respondents say they have nodded off or fallen asleep while driving, including 26% who say they drive drowsy during the workday.
  • Work performance. Twelve percent of respondents have arrived late to work in the past month because of sleepiness. Other problems cited: impatience with others, difficulty concentrating on job tasks and lower productivity.
  • Work hours. Employees with more than one job report the highest rate of dissatisfaction with sleep: 43% say they get a good night’s sleep only a few nights per month or less. Part-time workers report the highest rate of sleep satisfaction.

    Perfect Sleep

    In a nutshell, which sane person would not be interested in getting a perfect night’s sleep? This is something that is pretty much in demand all over the world and with an obvious demand for this unusual need, most companies have turned to various remedies such as pills, pillows, machines, therapies and massages to at least get closer to the actual needs of people today.

    Sleep is not a common commodity that you can simply take out of the shelf. People know this and artificial remedies to something natural as sleep will surely be something many would-be customers will truly be wary of.

    Dubbed “sleeponomics,” companies across America are trying to sell us a perfect night’s sleep with pills, pillows, white noise machines, aromatherapy, massage, acupuncture and more. And it’s fast-becoming a $20 billion-a-year industry.

    Sleep Disorders

    We often find ourselves having to stay up late due to parties, work and worries. But while we do not value them that much, does it follow that sleep disorders are not far behind?

    Apparently, one of the hard problems we have to deal with today is properly. Unless you are a sleep expert, chances are you may already have a serious sleep disorder but are still in denial. Sleep problems exist today and it really does not hurt to find out if you are indeed suffering from a sleep disorder. Improper diagnosis may eventually lead you to serious problems that you think.

    Just bear these things in mind:

    Do you . . .

  • feel irritable or sleepy during the day?
  • have difficulty staying awake when sitting still, such as when watching television or reading?
  • fall asleep sometimes while driving?
  • have difficulty paying attention or concentrating at work, school, or home?
  • perform below your potential in work, school, or sports?
  • often get told by others that you look tired?
  • have difficulty with your memory?
  • react slowly?
  • have emotional outbursts?
  • feel like taking a nap almost every day?
  • require caffeinated beverages to keep yourself going?

    Adult Sleeping

    Sleep is important and a necessity for us to go on living healthy lives. There is a trend that is quite funny. During our toddler years, we find ourselves sleeping most of the time. We see this when we have our own kids who are always around us. On the other hand, as we get older, tendency is we slowly decrease the number of hours of sleep due to a number of reasons such as:

    1. Stress
    2. Excessive Thinking
    3. Time Management from Work or Studies
    4. Social Life
    5. Searching for the Right Comfort

    If you will summarize it, it would seem that when we are in our prime years, we tend to overwork and want to take on the whole world as we see it. We are usually hyperactive that we forget the usual 6 to 8 hours of sleep. But when we near the retiring age, somewhere between 25 and above, we find ourselves going back to sleeping longer hours. This is because our bodies are slowly getting older and the organs we have are not as metabolized during our active years.

    GLOtoSleep Masks

    The Oscars may have been finished and not all favorite actors or actresses came home as the winner. But as a form of consolation, most of the actors didn’t go home empty-handed. Most of them were given a special sleeping mask, the GLOtoSleep masks, to help assist them in sleep disorder problems that most may be suffering from.

    It is a fact that most of these celebrities has had to deal with the said sleeping problems, bulk of which were caused by the excitement of possibly winning in the 2008 Oscars. While many had sleepless nights, for the celebrities with recurring sleep problems, this gift is indeed something worthy to help get back to their normal courses of sleep.

    Recipients of an ongoing good nights sleep, courtesy of the GLOtoSLEEP™ mask, were Best Actor Nominees: George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Tommy Lee Jones, and Viggo Mortensen; Best Supporting Actor Nominees: Casey Affleck, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Hal Holbrook and Tom Wilkinson; Best Supporting Actress Nominees: Cate Blanchett, Julie Christie, Laura Linney and Ellen Page and Best Actress Nominees: Ruby Dee, Saoirse Ronan and Amy Ryan. Cate Blanchett will get a ‘doubly’ good night’s rest, as she received two masks for being nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Directors Julian Schnabel, Jason Reitman, Tony Gilroy and Paul Thomas Anderson, as well as host Jon Stewart, are also in for a season of restful mellowness as recipients of GLOtoSLEEP™.
