Small aids such as pillows and sleep masks are presented as simple solutions to optimize the sleeping environment. It emphasizes how important scientifically based approaches are to promote sleep despite time differences.

Sleep problems are a serious issue

The topic of sleep is particularly challenging for shift workers. An analysis haufe.de highlights the risks associated with overtiredness and lack of sleep. These factors not only endanger personal health, but also the safety of companies. Research shows that only 60% of shift workers can sleep well, while 37% even sleep less than five hours.

Shift work often causes employees to work against their internal clock, which significantly limits the quality of their sleep. In order for companies to meet these challenges, ergonomic shift systems and leisure blocks should be integrated after night shifts. In addition, power napping is recommended as an effective method to compensate for sleep deficits.

Tips for improving sleep

The discussion about sleep culture in companies is gaining momentum. Stress management and sleep hygiene health programs are needed to promote healthy sleep habits. Flexible working hours and home office are also measures that can meet individual sleep needs. Managers play a special role and should act as role models through their behavior in order to establish a healthy sleep and break culture.

The importance of recovery time is also highlighted. There is a discussion about the introduction of a siesta in German companies, with opinions among employees divided: 34% are in favor of a siesta, while 34% are against it.

A combination of personal experiences and practical advice from experts like Liefers and Fietze as well as the latest scientific findings can help to sustainably improve your own sleep routine, both when traveling and at work. The challenges are great, but with the right strategies, restful sleep can be achieved even in turbulent times.
