Lack of sleep among apprentices: A new phenomenon? |
One in three adults in Switzerland suffers from sleep problems. More and more young people are also affected by it. With consequences: overtired employees are less productive, sick more often and have more accidents. Apprentices in particular sometimes find it difficult to adjust their sleeping pattern to the new phase of life when they begin their careers. In many cases, their waking and sleeping patterns are also influenced by their use of digital media. Is this a fair impression? Is the smartphone and therefore the use of digital media responsible for this? Do young people have an increased susceptibility to sleep disorders and depressive symptoms? The event will delve into these questions and more. | ||

Companies should therefore address sleep as part of their workplace health promotion programs. | |

| 09/25/2017 | Countering the psychosocial risks faced by young people | In the age of digital media and social change, psychosocial risks are increasingly recognized as significant factors in work and health.
