The cause and the extent of Sleep Deprivation
Sleep Deprivation can lead to fatigue, learning and concentration difficulties and workplace accidents. Medications, illness, stress related to work or home and just personal choice (i.e. going out the night before work) can all be causes of sleep deprivation. Emotional issues such as anxiety and depression can often lead to sleep deprivation or in worse cases, insomnia. Studies suggest that sleep loss may have an effect on the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, and nervous systems.
The scope of employee assistance program needed
The Intermediate EAP is able to identify and manage the causes of sleep deprivation that affects workplace performance. The workplace is therefore an ideal setting in reaching a large group of individuals with potential mental health problems, emotional or other impairing issues.
An overview of a program that could be implemented
A program that can be implemented referring to Sleep Deprivation is a lunch-time information session. The session would only last half an hour, and would cover the causes of sleep deprivation and how it affects the work place. We would talk about different ways to combat sleep deprivation so that employees now have broader knowledge of the issue and can easily work their way to fixing the issue.
These sessions would be held once every three months to help keep the employees awareness levels up.
Physical resources needed to implement and maintain the program
Physical resources needed to implement and maintain this program would be computers/laptops; to conduct research on the topic of sleep deprivation, and to compose slide presentations as well as typing up/print fact sheets for employees to keep and take home with them.
Books can also be used to research the
