The Statistics Behind the Problem.
1 in 3 people cannot sleep.
Insomnia disorder affects approximately 30–35% of the adult population globally. In a workforce of 500, that is 150 to 175 people with a clinically significant sleep problem. In Somnus's own enterprise screening benchmark across 118 employees, 64.4% showed insomnia symptoms: 12.7% at moderate-to-severe syndrome level, 51.7% at mild-to-moderate risk.
Sleep debt is the hidden operating cost.
Based on screening data, employees in the benchmark cohort slept 0.6 hours less per weekday than desired generating an estimated 9,000 hours per week of sleep debt across a 3,000-person workforce. That is 225 full-time equivalent work days lost per week to a deficit of less than 40 minutes per night.
The cost inside your workforce is measurable.
Modelled across a 3,000-person organisation using Somnus's screening benchmark, untreated sleep disorders generate an estimated S$4.59M in annual lost productivity and healthcare costs. That figure compounds from three sources: syndrome-level insomnia excess costs (Daley 2009), OSA-related productivity drain (Frost & Sullivan 2016), and a 12% annual progression rate from at-risk to clinical populations.
Sleep-deprived employees cost more than sick employees.
Presenteeism — attending work while cognitively impaired by sleep loss — costs employers more than absenteeism. Sleep deprivation at the level of one to two hours per night produces measurable cognitive impairment equivalent to 24 hours without sleep. RAND Europe (2023) estimates that affected employees would trade 14% of household income to eliminate their insomnia, a measure of the quality-of-life cost that sits entirely outside productivity figures.
