Some employers are shifting from simply talking about better sleep - or giving employees tools to track it - to helping them with what to do about it.

New Balance, the Boston-based athletic shoe company, wanted to help its employees sleep better.
So in October, it rolled out Dayzz, a mobile app that offers personal recommendations for better sleep. If users say they watch TV in bed, the app might send a text at bedtime to turn it off. If it's taking users too long to fall asleep, the app might suggest they get out of bed temporarily and listen to music. Employees can also use the app to scan noise and light intensity levels in their bedrooms and chat online with a sleep coach.
