Some companies are paying for sleep consultants for parents, reports the Chicago Tribune, with the idea that a well-rested household is a win for workers and their employers.
Sleep consultants can cost anywhere from $200 for advice before a baby is born to thousands of dollars for multiple nights of live-in help. Many consultants charge $400 to $500 for a consultation followed by several weeks of support.
There’s a reason why employers are stepping up. Productivity losses due to fatigue and poor sleep can cost employers $1,967 per employee per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
David, you are a LIFE SAVER! I have been sleeping in the spare room for 4 months – and let’s just say my sex life had become pretty boring! My wife and I were becoming strangers living in the same house. Thanks to your strategies, I am now back in our bed and the closeness and intimacy have returned. Thank you so much for taking the time to put all this together. It has genuinely changed my life.
