Amschler and James F. McKenzie  \nABSTRACT  \nBackground: Sleep deprivation is a world-wide health concern. Few studies have examined the sleep behaviors of those employed in the education field. Purpose: To describe the sleep habits and concerns of school personnel in a Midwest school corporation. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data about demographics, the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Measure, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and sleep concerns. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate procedures. Results: Almost 25% of teachers reported daily activities were impaired by sleepiness and 43% slept an average of six hours or less per night. Female respondents reported significantly poorer sleep. Overall, school employees experienced more sleep problems than reported by the general U.S. population. Discussion: This study confirmed the existence of sleep deprivation among school personnel. Sleepy teachers are at higher risk of providing insufficient supervision and inferior instruction. They also report more mood swings and are at higher risk for health problems. Little attention has been given to the sleep concerns and behaviors of school personnel, and there is a need for further research. Translation to Health Education Practice: Education regarding the importance of sleep and how to get a good night’s sleep should be included in employee wellness programming.  \nAmschler DH, McKenzie JF.

Although most adults require seven to eight hours of sleep per night for healthy functioning, over 70% are reporting less than eight hours of sleep on weekdaysand 40% are sleeping less than seven hours.1 Among all ages, sleep deprivation is known tobe associated with many health problems, including sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, musculoskeletal pain, poor reaction time and memory loss.2 In children, inadequate sleep can also result  \nin reduced academic performance and concentration.3 With adults, a lack of sleep is associated with workplace accidents, decreased performance and a higher rate of absenteeism, all costing U.S. businesses over $100 billion annually in increased costs and lowered productivity.2 In a study of matched workers in France, insomniacs reported twice as much absenteeism as those who experienced sufficient sleep.4 In a related study, work absences of French employees who suffered from insomnia cost an average of $3,025 per employee each year, while the missed days of work among those with sufficient sleep average $1,250 .5  \nIn 2008, it was found that adults working at least 30 hours per week for pay in the United States were averaging 6.7 hours of sleep per night.6 In addition, 33% of respondents reported getting a good nights sleep only a few times per month or less.
