Kisah Daniel · Daniel Platt, Pengasas Bersama dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif

Gangguan tidur yang tidak pernah disaring.

Bapa Daniel terkorban akibat seorang pemandu yang menghidap apnea tidur tanpa didiagnosis tertidur ketika memandu. Segala yang Daniel bina sejak itu bermula di situ.

Mohon temu bual dengan Daniel

7 Oktober 2004

5:55 pagi · Victoria, Australia Bapa Daniel sedang memandu ke tempat kerja, melalui jalan yang sama yang telah dilaluinya pada pagi-pagi yang tidak terkira banyaknya.

Pemandu dari arah bertentangan itu tidak tahu dia menghidap apnea tidur. Tiada apa-apa dalam hidupnya yang pernah bertanyakan soalan itu, jadi tiada apa-apa yang mengesannya. Harga jurang itu amat tinggi, bagi semua yang terlibat.

Itulah corak yang Daniel lihat berulang sejak itu: orang di belakang stereng lulus setiap pemeriksaan yang diwajibkan, namun tiada satu pun pemeriksaan itu bertanya tentang tidur.

Pemandu dari arah bertentangan

Pemandu yang datang dari arah bertentangan tertidur lalu memasuki lorong bapa Daniel, menyebabkan perlanggaran berdepan pada kelajuan tinggi.

Bapa Daniel diterbangkan ke hospital, bertarung nyawa.

Dalam masa sehari lebih, dunia keluarga itu hancur:Bapa Daniel telah tiada.

Keluarga Daniel kehilangan seorang bapa, seorang suami, seorang pekerja dan seorang rakan sepasukan. Hari ini, dia juga sepatutnya menjadi datuk kepada anak-anak Daniel.

Semuanya hilang kerana gangguan tidur yang tidak pernah disaring.

Ia boleh dicegah sepenuhnya.

Dalam kehidupan

Tidur dan keletihan bukan sekadar isu kesejahteraan. Ia juga isu keselamatan, undang-undang dan kewangan yang serius.

Ini bukan kejadian terpencil

Keluarga Daniel bukan satu-satunya. Setiap kes ini diterbitkan oleh penyiasat, mahkamah atau pengawal selia di Singapura dan Australia, dan semuanya mengikut corak yang sama: seseorang tertidur, lalu berlaku kemalangan.

Kes-kes ini dipaparkan dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Interstate driver on 7.5 hours' sleep in five days has microsleeps and kills six; jailed and denied compensation
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
An interstate semi-trailer driver drove about 5,400 km in five days, sleeping only about seven and a half hours and using stimulant pills to stay awake. For about 90 km before the crash site his truck weaved onto the wrong side of the road until it collided with two cars, killing six people. The state coroner found his driving was substantially caused by extreme fatigue resulting in microsleeps; he was jailed for death by dangerous driving, and the Workers Compensation Tribunal later refused his own injury claim because he kept driving knowing he was falling asleep.

Taxi driver with severe undiagnosed sleep apnoea hits aged-care minibus, three residents die; convictions quashed
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
A taxi driver carrying clients of a disability service drove through a rural give-way intersection without braking and struck a minibus taking nine aged-care residents home from a day trip; three of the elderly passengers died. Two hours later he was seen falling asleep and snoring in a busy hospital emergency department, and he was later diagnosed with very severe obstructive sleep apnoea (69 breathing stops an hour). He was convicted and jailed for six years, but the Court of Appeal quashed all the convictions because the jury could not exclude that his undiagnosed apnoea left him in microsleeps or diminished consciousness, so his driving may not have been conscious and voluntary.

Worker drives colleagues home after a marathon restaurant opening, has micro-sleeps and crashes: two killed
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
After two short nights and a 4am start, a young worker spent all day at the opening of a new city restaurant and then drove four colleagues home late at night. He had a micro-sleep, kept driving to look for a safe place to stop, fell asleep again and hit a power pole, killing two passengers and seriously injuring a third. The Court of Criminal Appeal held the sentencing judge was wrong to find he was not sleep deprived, and that full-time custody should have been imposed, but declined to interfere with the community sentence because it was well under way.

Logbook-compliant B-double driver keeps driving while dozing; head-on crash kills two boys
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
A B-double driver on a regular interstate run drifted into the oncoming lane repeatedly for more than half an hour in the early hours, correcting each time, before colliding with an oncoming car and killing two boys. His logbook was fully compliant with heavy vehicle work and rest limits and he had signed a fit-for-duty declaration, but he had worked almost 56 hours in five days and ignored his own warning signs and his employer's rule to stop if nodding off. Investigators found ten safe places he could have pulled over in the last 25 minutes. He was jailed for 3 years 6 months.

Apprentice electrician falls asleep driving to an early-morning start and kills two cyclists; convictions ultimately quashed
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
A first-year apprentice electrician left home at 4.40 am for his usual early start. Minutes later he fell asleep, his car drifted across the road and hit two cyclists on the opposite shoulder, killing both. It was never disputed that he fell asleep. The trial judge acquitted him of dangerous driving because he honestly and reasonably believed he was fit to drive, but convicted him of negligent driving; the Court of Criminal Appeal then quashed that conviction as inconsistent and entered an acquittal, nearly four years after the crash.

Truck driver with sleep apnoea and work diary breaches ploughs into stopped traffic, killing a toddler: 12.5 years' jail
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
- Kewangan
A 43-tonne prime mover driver who had sleep apnoea, at most six hours' sleep opportunity the night before, and a history of work diary and rest-break breaches wandered across lanes on a major freeway for half an hour, alarming other motorists who wondered if he was asleep. He then ran into the back of slowed traffic at roadworks, killing a two-year-old girl and seriously injuring her parents. The court found beyond reasonable doubt that he was fatigued, knew his driving was badly impaired and chose to push on. He was jailed for 12 and a half years and also fined for the work diary and hours offences.

Paramedic with undiagnosed sleep apnoea falls asleep; patient dies in ambulance rollover
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
During an overnight patient transfer, an ambulance left the road at about 2:50 am, hit a tree and rolled; the patient died and two others were seriously injured. The paramedic driving told police he fell asleep, and was later diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnoea that an expert said was probably present at the time. The District Court of South Australia acquitted him of dangerous driving charges because it could not exclude that he fell asleep without warning due to the undiagnosed condition.

- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
A minibus driver carrying young children briefly fell asleep at the wheel around midday because of a lack of rest, failed to see a pedestrian on a zebra crossing and struck her; she died six days later. The driver, then in his late 60s, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention causing death. The judge named his fatigue, and the risk it posed to others, as an aggravating factor and imposed jail and an eight-year driving ban.

Bus captain on 4 hours' sleep closes eyes for 3 seconds and crashes; jailed 12 weeks
- Keselamatan
- Undang-undang
A public bus captain who had slept only about four hours before starting a 5:30am shift dozed off at the wheel mid-afternoon, closing his eyes for about three seconds before the bus crashed into a bus stop bollard. Three of the ten passengers were injured, including fractures. The prosecution told the court the crash was caused by his lack of sleep; he was jailed for 12 weeks and banned from driving for five years. The operator said its roster gave at least nine hours' rest between shifts, a reminder that a compliant roster does not guarantee that sleep was actually obtained.

Apa yang dibinanya bersama Melissa

Daniel mengasaskan bersama Sleepfit Solutions pada 2016 dan menghabiskan hampir sedekad sebagai Ketua Pegawai Teknologi dan Produk, mereka bentuk dan membina keseluruhan suite: saringan gangguan tidur, penilaian risiko keletihan organisasi, penilaian sebelum bertugas dan analisis insiden berkaitan keletihan.

Dia membina platform itu mengikut ISO 27001 dan dilantik sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif pada 2026.

Impak setakat ini

Setiap angka di sini datang daripada pelaksanaan kami sendiri atau penyelidikan bebas, dan tiada satu pun menamakan pelanggan.

100,000+orang telah menggunakan program kami, merentasi majikan dan kerajaan di Australia, Amerika Syarikat, Eropah dan Asia.
62%pekerja kereta api yang dikenal pasti berisiko tinggi mengalami gangguan tidur telah mengambil langkah ke arah rawatan, dalam satu pelaksanaan di sebuah pengendali kereta api.
1,000+pekerja dalam tenaga kerja kereta api yang bekerja secara syif melengkapkan penilaian tidur. Satu perempat melengkapkan penilaian kedua, secara purata 93 hari kemudian.
2kajian bebas dari Appleton Institute, CQUniversity mendapati peningkatan ketara dalam kesihatan tidur dan tahap keterukan insomnia selepas menggunakan Sleepfit.

Kedua-dua kajian tidak mempunyai kuasa statistik yang mencukupi untuk membuktikan keberkesanan berbanding kumpulan kawalan.

Cara kami menilai bukti kami

Dua puluh dua tahun kemudian, keluarga saya masih hidup dengan apa yang telah dirampas oleh satu gangguan tidur yang tidak didiagnosis. Saya akan melakukan segala yang termampu untuk mengesannya dalam kalangan mereka yang tidak tahu mereka menghidapinya, sebelum ia meragut insan tersayang orang lain pula.

Risiko & Keselamatan

Soalan yang akan ditanya oleh penyiasat

Di Singapura, Akta Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Tempat Kerja mewajibkan majikan mengambil langkah yang munasabah dan praktikal demi keselamatan dan kesihatan pekerja mereka, dan keletihan boleh menjadi salah satu risiko yang memerlukan langkah sedemikian. Selepas sesuatu insiden, anda akan ditanya apa yang anda tahu tentangnya dan apa yang anda lakukan.

Kisah Melissa · Pengasas

Tidur bermula di rumah.

Melissa mula mengenali bidang tidur di rumah, sebagai ibu baharu: seorang anak perempuan yang malamnya masih cuba difahaminya, dan seorang suami yang hidup dengan insomnia kronik. Segala yang dibinanya sejak itu bermula di situ.
