How much is sleep deprivation costing your business?
Employee Benefit Offerings: Supporting through parenting challenges
Parents of young children make up almost 40% of the workforce; with up to 70% of these parents struggling with some aspect of their child’s sleep at some point in their parenting career. (Mindell & Owens, 2015)
This sleep loss may lead to poor work performance, errors, reduced creativity, motivation, as well as lost workdays and unexplained absences. In a 2016 study, it was suggested that sleep deprivation in the workplace leads to annual economic losses in the USA in excess of $400 billion a year. Closer to home, in the UK, that figure is reportedly £50 billion. (Hafner, et al., 2016)

What people say
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I started your online course last week and it has really given me that extra bit of support and guidance that I needed alongside your books to settle our little one into a more consistent routine. The last couple of days I have had to wake her from her naps which are in her cot (she had been a 30/40-minute cat napper and only in my arms) and we have even gotten a few 7am wake ups instead of the usual 5am! I am heading back to work soon, and I am already feeling better about it know she is able to have proper naps throughout the day. You are a star!
We have had great success implementing your strategies & I have recommended your approach to so many new mums I have met recently. I only wish I had heard of you for my first baby as I labelled her a bad sleeper & wonder now would she have slept & ate better if we had tried harder. Anyway, we have 2 great sleeping children now!
I just want to drop you a line to say a thank you! We tweaked a few things - less bottles & brought his dinner (ensured it included protein) & his bottle at least 40 mins earlier. I am delighted to report back the last 3 nights he has slept 8pm to 7am. And only a couple of dummy runs. Thank you so so much.
I started your routine this day last week with my 7-month-old. She always woke at least 7 times a night every hour to 45m....I was a wreck and completely worn out...one week later, she is sleeping from around 7.15pm to 5 or 6...waking once for a feed...it is not perfect yet but a life changing improvement...thank you.
I just wanted to let you know that we are currently on day 11 of your plan and so far, have seen great results. We have had a few nights of sleeping through from my 6-month-old baby boy from his last feed at around 11 to 6/7 am. Still have a few early starts but to be honest that is still better than where we were. Still working through the process but it was so much easier than I thought it would be and we did not have as many tears as I feared.
My little girl has been sleeping through because I implemented the self-settling approach that you teach on your course, she used to have all her naps on my arms and would wake up many times during the night. I was able to teach her to self-settle and to sleep in her cot during her naps thanks to you.
I bought your online course, since then, I have started to use your guidelines and have seen a massive improvement in his sleep. So, he wakes any time between 6 and 7 although today we went to 7 10am! Has his bottle within a half hour and then his breakfast shortly after? Then two hours later he goes for his nap in his cot, blinds pulled with a soother and muslin cloth, he sleeps on his side and generally we just leave him down and walk out and he goes asleep himself! Amazing! The odd time we could have tears, or he may need more help. This goes for all sleeps.
This course has made our lives so much better. If you need a better sleep for you and your little ones, give this a try. Lucy Wolfe knows what she is talking about!!
Happy to report our baby is sleeping like a trooper...practically 7pm-6am 95% of the time and napping during the day better than ever before…. Also, very capable of resettling herself now when she does wake. it is such a relief to have her in such a good routine before I head back to work next month.
What I love about Lucy’s approach is that it is child-led, gentle, and actually works, without the need for ‘cry-it-out’. If anyone is feeling desperate but is not comfortable with the cry-it-out method, I would strongly urge you to speak to Lucy and read her books or buy her online course. Within two weeks of making changes our daughter’s sleep had improved dramatically.
