Sleep needs change at different stages in life are you getting sufficient though? The American Society of Sleep states that the minimum amount of sleep we need is 7 hours, ideally between 7-9 hours. A recent study of senior managers and office workers found that 80% are not getting this.The average is between 6-6.5hours and it is costing companies around $2200 per employee, this is due to sleep deprivation affecting our thought processes in the pre-frontal cortex, our inability to concentrate or make good judgement with important decisions or maybe even turn up late for work due to a poor nights’ sleep.
Whether it’s due to childcare issues, insomnia or other factors, you can’t afford to ignore it.
If you have 5 employees that’s a total of $10,000K, a larger company with 50 employees is going to be paying a much higher price. Whilst most of this may go unnoticed on a day to day basis, you may only discover the true impact of sleep deprivation when a disaster happens or you lose a large contract due to a poor presentation or inaccurate figures.
Most parents expect to get up in the night when they have a small child, however with the right support and some holistic methods it is possible to easily have your child sleeping through the night by around 6 months. The notion that a child will fall asleep when tired is simply not true. Sleep for a baby or toddler is a learned skill and takes some longer to master than others, just as when a new employee starts with your company he/she requires new knowledge, training and support with how your company operates.
I meet many professional parents who allow this situation to go on for months, some years however, it is these early pattern and incorrect sleep patterns that can stay with a person for life, mostly due to bad habits, insufficient knowledge of child development or some kind of trauma which holds people back throughout life.
After one session in most cases, I am able to distinguish what is causing you or your child to wake and if required; can put together a support plan to help you overcome your challenges, even if they’ve lasted for years and other professionals have not provided a solution.
