The Importance of Sleep (WE003)


Description
According to the old rhyme, being “early to bed and early to rise” makes you “healthy, wealthy, and wise.” Unlike most “old tales,” this one has a lot of truth in it. Sleep, or lack of it, can have a huge impact on your entire life.

Everything from mental well-being to physical health can be affected by not getting enough shut-eye. When it comes to work, being sleep deprived isn’t only bad for productivity, but depending on the job you do, it could be really dangerous too, so making sure you get enough of the right sort of sleep is vital.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Understand why too little sleep does you more harm than good
• Understand the impact of tiredness in the workplace
• Understand how good “sleep hygiene” can change your life

Why take this course?

While you may have been doing your job so long you could do it with your eyes shut, actually being asleep on the job is a pretty bad idea. Taking this course will benefit everyone, no matter what job you have. It will help you understand how much sleep you should get, and how to achieve the perfect rest to keep your workday productive and safe.
