Description

In Germany approximately one third of the population suffers from sleep problems. Among the working population, one in ten now suffers from a serious sleep disorder requiring treatment, known as insomnia. People who suffer from insomnia have an increased risk of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety disorders, as well as of physical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular diseases. This project examined the exemplary implementation of online sleep counseling within occupational health management to determine the conditions for the most simple and uncomplicated transfer to a different organisation.
