Employees at health insurance giant Aetna can bring home up to $300 a year if they get at least seven hours of sleep per night. The voluntary program launched last year as part of the firm’s larger effort to promote wellness in its offices.
In an interview this week, Aetna spokesman T.J. Crawford detailed the goals of the program and how it works.
“Having a well-rested and more present workforce is a win for everyone — our employees, our members and our shareholders,” Crawford told The Huffington Post.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults 18-64 years old get between seven and nine hours of nightly rest. Those 65 and older should get seven to eight hours a night. But data from the National Health Interview Survey show that 30 percent of American adults get only six hours or less.
