The Impact of a Workplace Sleep Program on Employee Well-being: A Pre-post Design Intervention Study

This study investigates the impact of a workplace sleep program on employee well-being using a pre-post intervention design. Conducted at a large public university, the program aimed to address sleep-related issues among early-career researchers. A total of 49 participants took part in a series of psychoeducational sessions that focused on sleep hygiene, relaxation techniques, and the relationship between stress and sleep. Participants wore actigraph devices to objectively measure their sleep patterns both before and after the intervention, with follow-up assessments conducted four months later. The results indicated significant improvements in both objective and self-reported sleep, as well as overall well-being. Additionally, participants reported reduced perception of exposure to workplace bullying behaviors. These findings suggest that implementing structured sleep programs can be an effective strategy for organizations seeking to enhance employee well-being and mitigate the adverse effects of sleep deprivation.
