Question

Employees’ work and home life can influence the amount and quality of sleep they get. As a result, getting enough sleep can be a problem for anyone, no matter the job. People who work in industries that
require shift work or spend long hours on the job are at a higher risk for sleep-related disorders and report

program, companies can increase safety and make employees healthier and safer at home.
