Lack of sleep costs companies performance and health

Every year in Germany, millions of illness-related days of absence occur.

A significant share is linked to sleep disorders, stress-related illnesses, and exhaustion syndromes.

Studies show that sleep disorders markedly increase the risk of absences, productivity losses, and long-term illness.

High economic cost

Lack of sleep causes substantial economic losses in Germany. Studies estimate the cost of absences and productivity losses at around €60 billion per year.

Absences due to lack of sleep

Every year in Germany, hundreds of millions of working days are lost to lack of sleep – with measurable productivity losses for companies.

Widespread sleep problems

Around 40% of adults report occasional sleep problems. About 10% meet the criteria for insomnia requiring treatment.

Loss of productivity

International studies show: too little sleep significantly raises the risk of performance drops, errors, and outages.

Sleep problems are not an individual failing. They arise from the interplay of workload, stress, routines, and missing recovery phases. For companies this means: sleep health is not a side issue, but a central factor for long-term performance and health.

This is exactly where Sloop comes in: with a preventive, digital, and scalable approach that sustainably strengthens sleep health in everyday working life.
