Health May is Better Sleep Month
Renewal Ramp-Up:
Provide Paycheck
Insurance
Employees are paying a high price for too little sleep, according to a 2008 Better Sleep
Council survey. It reported an alarming decline in the quality of work, poor judgment
and trouble retaining information as the top work-related consequences from lack of
sleep. Not to mention that cranky co-worker.
5 Tips to Improve Sleep and Work Productivity
Maintain a regular sleep schedule,
even on weekends.
Turn off the TV and computer one hour
before bed (the light from glowing screens
wreaks havoc on sleep rhythms).
Unclutter your bedroom to create a dark,
cool, relaxing and comforting environment.
Avoid caffeine after 3 p.m.
Exercise regularly.
According to the Social Security Administration, three out of 10 workers who are
age 20 or older will become disabled at
some point in their lives. Also, one in seven
will become disabled for more than five
years. However, only 58 percent of full-time
workers have a disability plan, and 41
percent of them don’t know if they have
enough coverage.
If your employees become sick or
injured and can’t work, give them the
peace of mind that they’ll be able to pay
for everyday necessities like groceries,
transportation or their mortgage? Disability
insurance provides a percentage of an
employee’s salary while they’re out of work
or can’t perform their job duties.
