Optimise sleep

Share collective tips for better rest and good recovery.

Why this programme

Sleep is the number one tool for safety and performance, and the most neglected. The programme offers practical keys, adapted to the rhythms of your business, including shift work.

The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe—how to observe.

Florence Nightingalenurse, pioneer of modern nursingNotes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not, 1859

What your teams experience

  1. The cycles: understand the phases of sleep and what disrupts them.
  2. My evening: put good bedtime habits back in the right order.
  3. Shift work: guidance adapted to non-standard hours, if your business has them.
  4. Our pact: each team chooses a collective habit to adopt.

Each activity opens and closes with a projected cinematic sequence, personalised for your teams. The facilitator sets the pace: nothing moves forward without them.

Before you book

What is digital team building?

A team building session in which teams play challenges on participants' phones while a big screen shows the running order, the scores and the cinematic sequences. A facilitator runs the room from start to finish. Everything happens in person.

Do we need to install an app?

No. Participants scan a QR code and play in their phone's browser. No account, no password, no installation. It works on iPhone and Android.

Is there a limit on the number of participants?

No. The platform adapts to your headcount, from a small team to the whole company, in one or several rooms.
