THE WELLNESS VALUE OF SLEEP
Duda Owner IONOS • April 7, 2016
Money magazine did a reader survey exploring the topic of how sleep affects various aspects of workers’ lives (“The Financial Side of Sleep” March 2016, p. 18). One of the results seems to be that a worker’s annual medical costs correlate with sleep quality, with good sleepers benefiting the most. Here is how individual annual medical costs stacked up relative to sleep quality:
- Insomnia syndrome—$3,676
- Insomnia symptoms—$2,035
- Good sleepers—$1,587
When companies can facilitate wellness, employees tend to sleep better, and medical costs decrease. That makes sense for companies and their employees. In our healthcare-challenged world today, we cannot afford to turn down anything that reduces the costs, especially when it involves good quality sleep.

My transparent reflection about my five-year post-layoff experience, how I navigated it, learned through it, and identified some wisdom that might inspire others.
The earliest days of this series present fundamentally significant leadership content.
We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy. I call the overuse or inappropriate use of these words in this context HONESTY VALIDATORS because the speaker believes they validate the truth being spoken. We need a solution to this problem. My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
