Victoria-based sleep company is offering free support to one of the province’s most demanding professions.

To mark International Sleep Month, local sleep app and VIATEC member, WikiSleep, has partnered with E-Comm 9-1-1 to provide free annual access to its app for 911 dispatchers call takers, support staff and their families across British Columbia.

Emergency communications professionals coordinate emergency responses around the clock, often working stressful shifts that can make quality sleep difficult.

“I am very proud to announce that WikiSleep has partnered with E-Comm 911 to provide free sleep support to First Responders and their families,” said Adrien Sala, founder of WikiSleep. “911 dispatch is an incredibly important and difficult job and for those on the front lines, sleep and being well rested is a vital component of their work. By supporting these healthcare workers, WikiSleep is doing our small part to support those who support us in our most difficult moments.”

Founded in Victoria, WikiSleep helps listeners fall asleep through engaging narrated stories designed to guide busy minds away from racing thoughts at night.

“As the ‘first’ first responders, our employees support people in their most critical moments, often while working demanding shifts that challenge healthy sleep. Tools like WikiSleep help our staff recharge and stay resilient so they can continue showing up for our communities when it matters most,” said Jen Brown, Manager, Total Rewards & Wellness at E-Comm 9-1-1.

The partnership launches during International Sleep Month, highlighting the importance of rest and recovery for those working behind the scenes of emergency response.

For VIATEC members, WikiSleep also offers three-months free through our Member Offers page.
