Le problème

Les problèmes de sommeil qui comptent le plus sont ceux que personne ne signale

L’apnée du sommeil, l’insomnie et la détresse psychologique sont courantes chez les personnes qui travaillent par quarts, et la plupart ne sont pas diagnostiquées. Elles n’apparaissent ni dans un horaire de travail ni dans un régime de santé tant que quelque chose ne tourne pas mal.

Sleepfit mesure la santé du sommeil à l’échelle de la population, de façon confidentielle, identifie les employés qui pourraient bénéficier d’une évaluation clinique et donne à chaque personne un chemin vers son propre médecin.

Semi driver later diagnosed with sleep apnea on 'autopilot' kills three teens in work zone
- Sécurité
- Juridique
A semi-trailer carrying insulation panels drove at about 84 km/h into a highway construction zone without slowing, killing three teenagers in a stopped vehicle and seriously injuring a flag person. The driver could not recall entering the zone or seeing any of the warning signs and described being on 'autopilot'; he was within hours-of-service limits and did not feel tired, but was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea after the crash. At sentencing the provincial superior court heard that he had likely fallen asleep or was on 'autopilot', and the case turned on whether he was reckless or 'just inattentive and sleep deprived'.

Passenger train enters siding at 64 mph; fatigue and likely undiagnosed sleep apnea in the cab
- Sécurité
At about 4:25 am a passenger train carrying 118 passengers entered a siding at 64 mph where the limit was 15 mph and derailed, injuring both locomotive engineers and five passengers. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found that the crew's planning and reaction were likely degraded by fatigue, with the accident occurring in the early-morning circadian low. A post-accident medical evaluation concluded the operating engineer was most likely suffering from obstructive sleep apnea that had never been diagnosed, and the board found that medical information was not reliably passed on when safety-critical employees moved between railway companies.

Tribunal finds waste truck driver's undiagnosed severe sleep apnea caused his crash; employer gets full cost relief
- Sécurité
- Juridique
- Financier
A waste management truck driver lost consciousness at the wheel and crashed; afterwards he was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and severe insomnia. The workers' compensation appeals tribunal accepted that the pre-existing sleep disorder caused the accident, noting medical advice that people with sleep apnea are two to three times more likely to have motor vehicle crashes. The worker's injuries remained compensable, but the employer was granted 100% cost relief from the provincial second injury fund because the sleep disorder, not the job, triggered the crash.

Track foreman with undiagnosed sleep apnea drives hi-rail truck into path of freight train
- Sécurité
A track maintenance crew from a national freight railway drove a hi-rail vehicle onto the main line without authority and travelled about 8 miles before a freight train struck it; the two workers got out just in time. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found the foreman's fatigue, influenced by two mild sleep disorders (obstructive sleep apnea and periodic limb movement disorder, diagnosed only after the accident), a circadian low and a demanding schedule, contributed to the error. It warned that track workers in safety-critical roles are not subject to enhanced medical requirements, so sleep disorders can go undetected.

Pilot with untreated sleep apnea and shift work disorder likely microsleeps; bulk carrier runs aground
- Sécurité
At about 9:48 pm a river pilot with the conduct of a bulk carrier failed to make a planned course change, and the ship left the channel and ran aground. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found fatigue was a likely factor in the pilot's reduced situational awareness, noted that a sudden stop in his activity suggested a possible microsleep on a dark, warm bridge, and that a sleep evaluation requested by the Board afterwards diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea and shift work disorder. The same pilot had been involved in an earlier grounding and had a sleep evaluation in 2007, but no feedback from it reached him or the pilotage authority.

National postal operator ordered to pay damages for keeping supervisor with sleep disorder on 3.30am shift
- Juridique
- Financier
A letter carrier supervisor at the national postal operator had a diagnosed sleep disorder and his doctor directed that he work regular day shifts only, not the 3.30am to 11.30am shift. The employer nevertheless assigned him to the early shift in 2001 and kept him there despite further medical directions in 2002, and his health worsened. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal found disability discrimination because the employer did not properly assess accommodation or show undue hardship, and awarded lost wages for more than two years plus damages.

Locomotive engineer with suspected circadian sleep disorder barred from on-call service; tribunal upholds restriction as safety-critical
- Juridique
A national railway's locomotive engineer in unassigned (on-call) service, with irregular start times, had growing trouble sleeping while waiting to be called. He booked off unfit 59 times in 2010 and told his doctor he had fallen asleep two or three times while driving a train. A sleep specialist suspected a circadian sleep rhythm disorder, and the railway restricted him from unassigned service and moved him to assigned day and afternoon shifts. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal accepted that he could not safely operate trains overnight, found the restriction was a bona fide occupational requirement for a safety-critical job, and dismissed his disability and family-status complaints against the railway and the union.

Court of Appeal overturns compensation for tire-plant operator's sleeplessness on backward-rotating shifts
- Juridique
A full-time operator at a tire plant worked a 28-day backward-rotating shift cycle for about seven years before developing severe sleeplessness that diminished his alertness, worst on night shifts. Nova Scotia's Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal upheld compensation for shift-work maladaptation syndrome in 2002, the first award of its kind in the province. Later that year the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal set the award aside, holding that the worker's intolerance of shift work was a personal characteristic and that there was no evidence the job caused or aggravated the condition.

Engineer's sleep apnea fatigue 'probably affecting his work' weighed in cutting dismissal to demotion after locomotive sparks lineside fires
- Sécurité
- Juridique
A national railway's locomotive engineer placed a low-power, non-turbocharged locomotive on line with high-power units, contrary to the railway's operating instructions, and the train set fires along the line that firefighters had to put out. He was dismissed for accumulating demerits. The arbitrator found discipline was warranted but counted the engineer's sleep apnea, which had caused him fatigue during 2015 and probably affected his work, among the reasons discharge was too severe, while stressing that employees are responsible for making sure they are fit to work. He was reinstated on a last-chance basis, demoted from locomotive engineer.

Lake freighter master on 3 to 5 hours' sleep a night for five days grounds self-unloader on charted shoal
- Sécurité
At about 5:50 am a self-unloading bulk carrier grounded on a charted shoal near a small lakeside town while the master was conning the ship by eye using buoys. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found the master had slept no more than five hours a day, and never more than 3.5 hours at a stretch, for the five days before, and that this lack of sleep made him fatigued and likely affected his performance, including shortcutting navigation tasks. The ship's hull was heavily buckled and three ballast tanks were holed.

Comment ça fonctionne

Sleep health, measured privately

Each employee completes a private, clinically structured sleep assessment on their own phone and gets a result, an action plan and, where a score is above a questionnaire’s cut-off, a letter they can choose to take to their own doctor. It works at the level of defence where most fatigue starts: whether people actually get the sleep their roster allows. The employer sees aggregate results only.

Les cinq niveaux de défense

Step 01
Évaluation
Une évaluation du sommeil à structure clinique, sur le propre téléphone de l’employé. Cinq instruments publiés, en une seule séance.
Step 02
Résultat et plan d’action
Un résultat individuel avec un plan d’action généré à partir de ses propres réponses, et non d’une bibliothèque générique.
Step 03
Une lettre pour son médecin
Lorsqu’un score dépasse le seuil d’un questionnaire, une lettre, soumise au consentement, que l’employé peut choisir de télécharger et d’apporter à son propre médecin.
Step 04
Suivi et réévaluation
Un suivi quotidien de trois questions (durée, qualité, énergie) qui alimente un journal du sommeil, et une réévaluation après 14 jours.

Undiagnosed sleep apnoea changed my family. It’s treatable, and too often nobody asks. Sleepfit asks, privately, and gives each person a route to their own doctor, before it costs someone else’s family.

Daniel PlattCofondateur et chef de la direction

Sleep is so often overlooked, yet it’s the foundation of good health. Many people with a sleep problem don’t know it, or don’t know it’s treatable. Sleepfit gives everyone a private, easy way to check their sleep health, and somewhere to go next.

Données probantes

Ce que nous pouvons démontrer

Deux études indépendantes de l’Appleton Institute de CQUniversity ont constaté une amélioration significative de la santé subjective du sommeil et de la gravité de l’insomnie après l’utilisation de Sleepfit. Aucune n’avait la puissance statistique nécessaire pour établir l’efficacité par rapport à un groupe témoin.

Lors d’un déploiement dans le secteur ferroviaire, 62% des employés dont le score dépassait le seuil d’un questionnaire ont pris des mesures en vue d’un suivi clinique.

Aux États-Unis, Sleepfit est offert par l’intermédiaire de notre partenaire Personify Health depuis 2021.

Ce que le produit n’établit pas

L’outil identifie les employés qui pourraient bénéficier d’une évaluation clinique. Il ne pose aucun diagnostic. Seul un professionnel de la santé peut le faire. Un score au-dessus du seuil d’un questionnaire indique qu’une discussion avec un professionnel de la santé pourrait être utile; ce n’est pas une maladie, et un taux de scores au-dessus du seuil n’est pas un taux de prévalence. Il ne mesure pas la fatigue au début du quart et ne détermine pas l’aptitude au travail.

In practice

Rail · Shift work

A rail operator offered Sleepfit to its shift-working workforce.

More than 1,000 employees completed a sleep assessment. A quarter came back for a second, a mean of 93 days later.

En partenariat avec

Research partner
Independently studied Sleepfit with shift workers
Researchers at CQUniversity’s Appleton Institute ran two independent, peer-reviewed studies of Sleepfit, with paramedics and with shift workers. They found significant improvement in subjective sleep health and insomnia severity; neither study was powered to establish efficacy against a control group.

FAQs

Questions we’re often asked

Does the employer see individual results?

No. No individual result is reported to the employer. Reporting is aggregate, with a minimum cell size so small teams can’t be re-identified, and any letter for the employee’s doctor is released only by the employee.

Trust and security Privacy policy

Does Sleepfit diagnose sleep disorders?

No. It does not diagnose any condition. Only a health professional can do that. Sleepfit identifies employees who may benefit from clinical evaluation, and the employee can choose to download a consent-gated letter to take to their own doctor.

What does the assessment use?

Five published instruments in one sitting, including STOP-Bang for sleep apnoea risk, the Regensburg Insomnia Scale and the PHQ-4.

What evidence is there that it helps?

Two independent studies from CQUniversity’s Appleton Institute found significant improvement in subjective sleep health and insomnia severity after using Sleepfit. Neither was powered to establish efficacy against a control group.

How is it priced?

On prevalence, not headcount: your whole cohort gets access, and you pay for the share predicted to need it.
