Le problème

Les nouveaux parents arrivent au travail avec un sommeil morcelé

L’arrivée d’un bébé est la cause la plus prévisible de privation aiguë de sommeil dans tout effectif, et l’une des moins abordées. Elle apparaît rarement comme un problème de fatigue signalé au travail.

SleepWellBaby, conçu avec Tresillian, raccourcit la période de privation aiguë de sommeil en aidant les parents à comprendre et à apaiser leur bébé, et, en cours de route, identifie les parents qui pourraient bénéficier d’une évaluation clinique pour la dépression postnatale.

Cas

When too little sleep led to an accident

Published cases from Canada where short or broken sleep led to a crash or incident: the kind of sleep loss a new baby brings.

Les cas sont présentés en anglais.

janv. 2004 · Ontario, Canada
Charter pilot on about 5 hours' sleep after cross-continent trip takes off iced and overweight; 10 killed
- Sécurité
- Financier
A single-engine turboprop on a charter flight took off from an island airstrip in freezing precipitation, about 15 percent over its maximum weight and with ice on the airframe, and struck the frozen surface of a lake, killing the pilot and all nine passengers. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found the decision to take off was out of character for the pilot and was likely affected by stress and fatigue. The night before, he had returned from a trip to California across three time zones and could have slept at most 5 hours 15 minutes before reporting for duty at 4:45 am.

Long-haul trucker on two hours' sleep falsifies logbook; four killed in highway pile-up
- Sécurité
- Juridique
A long-haul truck driver on a 28-hour run drove into stopped traffic on a major urban highway, causing an 11-vehicle pile-up that killed four people. The court found he had slept no more than about two hours after 13.5 hours of driving, had falsified his logbook to hide the missing rest, and was either distracted or falling asleep. He was convicted of criminal negligence causing death and jailed for eight years; the judge said a reasonable commercial truck driver would never have taken these risks.

Acutely fatigued trawler master who stayed at the helm through a 3-day redfish trip slow to respond as vessel sinks; three die
- Sécurité
The master of a stern trawler stayed at the helm for most of a three-day redfish trip with only occasional breaks, and gear failures disrupted his and the crew's sleep. About four hours after the crew stood down to rest, the overloaded vessel began to sink during the night. The Transportation Safety Board found that the master was acutely fatigued, which likely reduced his ability to recognize and respond to the emergency. Three of the six people on board died.

Outfitter pilot on 3 hours' sleep a night overloads floatplane; strikes power lines, two staff killed
- Sécurité
A hunting-camp operator flying his own twin-engine floatplane to carry two camp cooks and supplies took off overloaded from a remote lake, could not climb and struck high-voltage lines; the aircraft burned and both employees died, while the pilot was seriously injured. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found he had not allowed enough time to prepare his camps for the season and was fatigued, having slept only about three hours on each of the two nights before the flight. The Board noted fatigue increases risk-taking, and he chose not to abort a second, overweight take-off.

Two paramedics die after ambulance driver likely falls asleep following short turnaround
- Sécurité
- Juridique
Two paramedics with a provincial ambulance service were called back to work at 2 a.m., less than five hours after their previous shift ended. Returning from a patient transfer before dawn, their ambulance left a highway, crossed a low barrier and fell 33 metres into a lake, killing both. The provincial coroner concluded that driver fatigue caused the crash and that the driver had likely fallen asleep at the wheel; the ambulance service later changed scheduling to ensure adequate rest.

Medevac crew after long stand-by duty descend below approach altitude and hit beacon tower; 2 killed
- Sécurité
Just after midnight a twin turboprop returning from a medical evacuation flight descended below the mandatory altitude on approach to a northern regional airport, struck a navigation beacon tower and crashed, killing both pilots and seriously injuring the flight nurse. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found the crew lost altitude awareness and listed probable pilot fatigue as a contributing factor. The first officer had been awake about 17 hours, had spent 180 hours on stand-by over the previous 14 days and had once been awake at least 36 hours straight in the days before.

Snow crab crew awake 34 to 37 hours napping below; flooding missed and sleep inertia slows abandonment of capsizing boat
- Sécurité
On the opening day of the snow crab season, which began at midnight, the master of an open fishing vessel had been awake about 37 hours and the crew about 34 hours, with only short, poor-quality naps. To get needed sleep, all but one crew member were napping below while an inexperienced crew member steered, and water building up in the vessel went unnoticed until it capsized. The Transportation Safety Board found that sleep inertia likely affected the master's recognition of the danger and the abandonment. One crew member died and the master was not found.

Yard helper with 4 hours' sleep in 38 sets wrong switch and is fatally struck
- Sécurité
A yard helper with a national railway was struck and killed by a reversing yard movement at a major rail yard at about 6 a.m. He had worked 7 of the previous 9 nights, was on his second consecutive night shift and had slept at most 4 hours in the previous 38. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada found his fatigue likely contributed to the incorrect alignment of a crossover switch that led to the accident, alongside the absence of a risk assessment and a task interruption.

Trawler mate on 3 to 4.5 hours' sleep a night leaves wheelhouse; collision sinks longliner, one crew member lost
- Sécurité
A Canadian whiting trawler and a US longliner collided before dawn in restricted visibility. The longliner was drifting with no lookout, and the trawler's mate was not keeping a proper watch and briefly left the wheelhouse unattended. The Transportation Safety Board found it highly likely that the mate's thinking was impaired by fatigue: he had slept 3, 4.5 and 3.5 hours on the three nights before. The longliner capsized and sank, and one of its deckhands was never found.

Gillnet crew awake over 21 hours after 21.5-hour work period; fatigued crew member entangled and pulled overboard
- Sécurité
Two crew members on a factory freezer fishing vessel were setting gillnets for turbot at about 03:00. They had started work at 05:30 the previous morning and worked 21.5 hours with one break of 1.75 hours, during which they did not nap. One crew member's arm became entangled in the buoy line and he was pulled overboard and died. The Transportation Safety Board found that both crew members had sleep-related fatigue that reduced their ability to stay alert to risks, and that this, with an adapted work method, led to the death.

Comment ça fonctionne

Sleep support for new parents, around the clock

Parents with a baby under three get age-and-stage sleep and settling support, built with Tresillian, and a private check of their own mental health that shows whether they may benefit from clinical evaluation. It works at the same level of defence as Sleepfit, the sleep people actually get, aimed at the life stage that disrupts it most.

Les cinq niveaux de défense

Step 01
Inscription
Un parent d’un bébé de moins de trois ans s’inscrit lui-même. Aucune intervention d’un gestionnaire, à aucun moment.
Step 02
Soutien jour et nuit
Soutien pour le sommeil et l’apaisement adapté à l’âge et au stade de développement, conçu avec Tresillian et fondé sur un siècle de pratique clinique.
Step 03
Comprendre le bébé
Apprend aux parents à décoder les signaux de leur bébé: le mécanisme qui raccourcit la privation aiguë de sommeil.
Step 04
Bilan de santé mentale
Un questionnaire validé sur la santé mentale des parents (EPDS) qui identifie ceux qui pourraient bénéficier d’une évaluation clinique, avec un cheminement d’intervention dirigé vers la personne, jamais vers l’employeur.

When my daughter finally started sleeping, I felt like I got my life back. Tresillian’s methods did that for us. SleepWellBaby exists so every exhausted parent can have the same help at home, round the clock, without waiting for a place.

Données probantes

Ce que nous pouvons démontrer

En Australie, le ministère de la Santé de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud a financé SleepWellBaby pour tous les parents de l’État ayant un bébé de moins de trois ans à partir d’avril 2020. Une évaluation indépendante des trois premiers mois a recensé 15,000 téléchargements de l’application et 13,700 bébés inscrits, et 5,540 parents ont été signalés pour un suivi supplémentaire en santé mentale à l’aide d’un instrument validé.

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

Ce que le produit n’établit pas

Même limite que Sleepfit: l’outil identifie les personnes qui pourraient bénéficier d’une évaluation clinique. Il ne pose aucun diagnostic. Seul un professionnel de la santé peut le faire. Dans la plupart des industries, aucune réglementation ne vise le sommeil dans les foyers de nouveaux parents. Il s’agit d’une décision liée à l’effectif plutôt qu’à la conformité, et elle se justifie par ses propres mérites.

In practice

Public health · New South Wales

NSW Health funded SleepWellBaby for every parent in the state with a baby under three.

The challenge: reach new parents across a whole state with expert sleep and settling support, round the clock, and identify the parents who may benefit from mental-health follow-up.

In the first three months, parents received 3,400 referral letters to take to their doctor (EY independent evaluation, August 2020).

En partenariat avec

Researchers in midwifery and child and family health at UTS were the independent research partner as SleepWellBaby was developed, and tested its three-item parental mood questionnaire against the EPDS. A UTS researcher later led the independent evaluation.

FAQs

Questions we’re often asked

Who can use it?

Parents with a baby under three. Each parent registers themselves, with no manager involvement at any point.

What does the employer see?

Aggregate reporting only, with a minimum cell size: cohorts of new parents are small, so re-identification risk is high. Never an individual’s data or questionnaire result.

Trust and security Privacy policy

Who developed the content?

Tresillian’s clinical nursing staff developed, reviewed and approved it, adapting Tresillian’s residential and outpatient sleep and settling programs for parents at home.

What happens if a parent’s mental-health questionnaire raises a concern?

SleepWellBaby uses the validated EPDS, with an escalation pathway to the parent themselves, never to the employer.

Does it diagnose postnatal depression?

No. Like Sleepfit, it identifies people who may benefit from clinical evaluation. It does not diagnose any condition. Only a health professional can do that.

Can a parent delete their account and data?

Yes, at any time, in the app or by request. All personal data associated with the account is removed, and deletion can’t be undone.
