list of stages of sleep chartHere are many reasons why you have endless opportunities as a Certified Sleep Science Coach?

  • The direct costs of sleepiness and lost productivity in the workplace is estimated at $18 billion.
  • Drowsy drivers take the blame for at least 100,000 police-reported crashes in the US annually.
  • Forty million Americans suffer debilitating sleep disorders; the majority of them are undiagnosed.
  • About 40 million people in the United States suffer from chronic long-term sleep disorders each year and an additional 20 million people experience occasional sleep problems.
  • There are more than 70 different sleep disorders, which are generally classified into one of three categories:lack of sleep (e.g., insomnia), disturbed sleep (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea), and excessive sleep (e.g., narcolepsy).
  • 62% of American adults experience a sleep problem a few nights per week
  • 37.9% of Americans unintentionally fell asleep during the day at least once in the past month
  • 1,550 annual car crash fatalities attributed to falling asleep
  • Sleep and recovery are viewed by experts as being among the leading causes of poor performance in sports
  • 20 million people suffer from restless leg syndrome
  • 1 in 4 Americans snores

Lack of Sleep is a Leadership Liability:

Many executives and senior leaders are getting by on little sleep and see no way around it. In a 24/7 and hyper-connected culture, we try to squeeze out more and more from ourselves and from others. We push for productivity, an edge, the next new thing. When it seems there are not enough hours in the day, something has to give—and often, it’s sleep.

Neuroscientists have studied the effects of sleep—and lack of sleep—on the brain, cognition, and performance. Their conclusions for already overworked executives? The quantity and quality of sleep influences memory, decision making, attitudes, innovation, and creativity throughout the whole day.

  • But sleep is not a luxury.
  • Lost sleep reduces brain power and productivity.
  • Lost sleep diminishes concentration and impairs memory.
  • Lost sleep reduces the ability to communicate and lowers creativity.
  • Lost sleep triggers moodiness and increases stress and anxiety.

As you can now see, the market is huge.  In fact, the entire sleep industry is now over $40 BILLION a year. For the information directly above, you can see how this ties in perfectly with work as a Certified Corporate Wellness Coach. You have enormous opportunity to advise, coach, consult and educate individuals, groups, teams, and corporations on sleep science. It’s the most obvious additional credential and niche to add to any coaching practice.

One of the skills you will learn as a Certified Sleep Science Coach is Sleep Hygiene

‘Sleep hygiene’ is the term used to describe good sleep habits. Considerable research has gone into developing a set of guidelines and scientific strategies, which are designed to enhance good sleeping. There is much evidence to suggest that these strategies can provide long-term solutions to sleep difficulties.

An interesting fact: REM sleep improves our ability to make inferences and connections. We are more likely to have insights, solve problems and achieve desired results.

REM sleep is also important in other ways. Without adequate sleep, people are more likely to only re- member negative images and experiences—leaving us working with a skewed perspective when we are evaluating a situation or solving a problem. We also are more likely to have negative moods and negative emotions, which narrows thinking processes. As a result, we are not as open or receptive to ideas and less likely to have creative insight.

Here are four basics about sleep and circadian rhythms that you will learn in extensive detail.

1. Sleep need. Physiologically, adult humans require about 8 hours of sleep; with a range of around 7 to 9 hours. The amount of sleep an individual requires is genetically determined and “training” cannot reduce this sleep requirement. Kids and young adults from junior high/middle school years through their early 20’s physiologically require about 9 to 10 hours of sleep.

2. Sleep debt. Lose sleep and it builds into a cumulative sleep debt. Though most adults require about 8 hours of sleep, on average, they obtain about 1.5 hours less. This sleep loss accumulates into a sleep debt. For example, over a five-day work week, a daily 1.5 hours of sleep loss would build into a 7.5 hour sleep debt by the weekend. This equates to losing one full night of sleep (i.e., pulling an all-nighter) going into the weekend. (Coach, I had so much to do to prepare for today’s competition that I had to stay up all night to be ready.)

3. Circadian rhythms. Humans are hard-wired with a biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This circadian (circa=around, dies=a day) clock controls the 24-hour rhythms of our physiological and behavioral activities. Its programming controls the 24-hour fluctuations in sleep/wakefulness, hormones, alertness, performance and is exhibited at the cellular level. Circadian disruption commonly occurs as a result of irregular schedules and crossing time zones and has similar negative effects on performance, alertness, health, and mood as sleep loss.

4. Experience reality. How alert an individual “feels” does not reflect reality. Generally, even though an individual might report feeling wide-awake and at peak alertness, the person’s actual performance could show significant impairment and the person might fall asleep in less than five minutes (a sign of pathological sleepiness). A person’s ratings of alertness and performance do not accurately reflect actual levels. This “disconnect” is one reason why individuals feel that sleep loss and circadian disruption have minimal or no effect.
