Sleep Workshop for companies: 28 days to sleep better

In today's fast-paced society, getting a good night's sleep and feeling rested the next day doesn't seem so easy, and the figures on sleep quality in Switzerland are alarming. Thanks to this innovative workshop, your employees receive practical, effective advice, and have time to put it into practice between meetings.

Promoting physical and mental health through sleep

Sleep is a prerequisite for our mood, our health and our performance the next day. In recent years, however, sleep disorders have become more widespread: in 2024, 26% of Swiss suffer from moderate insomnia, and 1 in 10 uses sleeping pills, according to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office.

What impact do these sleep disorders have on the workplace?

One in 5 occupational accidents is linked to a sleep disorder, according to SUVA (2017 report). Loss of productivity, presenteeism or absenteeism, tensions between colleagues, repeated mistakes and reduced quality of life are common consequences of poor sleep.

Yet 50% of sleep problems could be solved or significantly improved through a better understanding of its mechanisms and adapted behaviors. Thanks to the "28 days to sleep better" challenge, participants can test the advice they receive and observe the effects on their own sleep.

Going beyond information to truly sleep better

More than just an informative workshop, the "Sleep Well" workshop is offered in the form of 3 meetings of around 1 hour each, spaced at intervals of around 2 weeks.

Its innovation: each participant is invited to take part in a 28-day challenge to apply the advice and best practices received during each workshop, and to observe the direct effects on their sleep.

Its plus: customization

Because each profession may have its own sleep-related challenges, this workshop is customized to your employees: before the first meeting, participants who so wish are invited to complete an anonymous online questionnaire about their sleep. Thanks to this, the advice given is directly optimized to tackle the sleep difficulties of those attending the workshops.

Duration: the optimum formula is 3 one-hour sessions.
