Sleep and Stress Management

This is a joint meeting with the New Jersey Chapter and the Construction Practice Specialty.

National Capital Chapter Programs Chair and “The Habit Mastery Consultant” Sharon Lipinski will present Sleep and Stress Management. The Fatigue in the Workplace: Causes and Consequences of Employee Fatigue by the National Safety Council determined that 13% of workplace injuries can be attributed to fatigue. According to their research, 27% of survey respondents reported having fallen asleep unintentionally on the job in the past month and 16% fell asleep while driving! (https://www.nsc.org/work-safety/safety-topics/fatigue/survey-report)

And it’s not just safety. According to a report by Rand, “Assuming there are 250 working days in a given year… a worker sleeping less than six hours loses around 6 working days due to absenteeism or presenteeism per year more than a worker sleeping seven to nine hours.” https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1791.html

Since about 30% of your employees are probably struggling with insomnia, you’re losing a lot of productivity and risking potential safety incidents.

In this session, Sharon Lipinski, CEO of Habit Mastery Consulting, will share…

*  When to see a doctor for sleeping problems, and how much sleep your employees really need.

*  9 bad habits that disrupt the sleep cycle. BTW, Using sleeping pills is one of those bad habits. In general, they may be doing more harm than good, but there is 1 time when it’s ok to take them.

*  9 good habits that will help your employees get a great night’s sleep every night. Hint.. A good night’s sleep actually starts with what you do during the day.

*Stress Management Techniques that can be used to support sleep and a more productive day
