The True Cost Of Poor Sleep

Thank you to the 997 participants who completed the recent Groove survey. Your answers gave us a closer look at just how much poor sleep is affecting our lives, and the results were eye-opening!

Read on to find out just how much sleep affects our quality of lifes and the one simple change you can make to improve your sleep quality.

Sleep Habits and Quality

1. 75% of participants told us they get less than the recommended seven hours of sleep per night.

2. One in five significantly under-slept at fewer than five hours!

3. Seventy percent said they wake up multiple times during the night or wake and cannot get back to sleep.

4. Three quarters of participants felt their overall sleep quality is worse than it should be.

The Daily Impact of Poor Sleep

5. It is not just about feeling tired, 96% of survey participants reported feeling physically affected the next day after a poor night of sleep.

6. More than half said their relationships are negatively impacted and more than a third struggled to perform at work.

The knock-on effects are clear, from productivity and focus to decision-making and general wellbeing.

The Cost of Poor Sleep

The financial side is also significant.

7. Almost half of respondents estimated that poor sleep has cost them at least £100 through medicine or lost productivity.

8. Three out of four said they have spent up to £200 on products or treatments in an effort to improve their sleep.

9. 49% of people believe that health factors like pain or menopause are at the root of their difficulties.

What Really Helps

And do you know what really makes a difference to a good night's sleep? Your bedding.

10. 84 percent credited a new pillow or mattress to a big improvement in their sleep!

This shows how much of a difference the right sleep support can make.
