Workplace Sleep Deprivation & Fatigue Risk Survey

Assesses how much sleep loss is affecting your workforce's alertness, mood, and safety on the job — built for HR, EHS, and shift-operations teams. An AI follow-up interview digs into the real story behind a recent fatigue-related close call or bad day, surfacing root causes that a checklist alone would miss.

Columns: Never · Rarely · Sometimes · Often · Always
Q05

What is the single biggest reason you don't get enough sleep on workdays?

  • Work schedule or shift timing
  • Long or unpredictable hours / overtime
  • Stress or worry about work
  • Caregiving responsibilities at home

  • A health condition (pain, apnea, etc.)
Q06
Rating ScaleRequired

Range: 1 – 5
Min:Not manageable at allMax:Very manageable
Q07
Slider MatrixRequired

Thinking about days when you're running short on sleep, how much does it affect each of the following?

4 rows, one slider each
  • Concentration and focus
  • Mood or irritability
  • Physical safety on the job
  • Overall productivity
Slider 0–10Min:No effectMax:Severe effect
Q08
Multiple ChoiceRequired

In the past 6 months, have you had a near-miss, error, or safety incident that you'd attribute at least partly to being tired or drowsy?

  • Yes
  • No
  • Not sure
Q09
Opinion ScaleRequired

Overall, how well-rested do you typically feel when you start your workday?

Scale: 1 – 7
Min:Completely exhaustedMax:Fully rested
Q10
AI Interview

Reconstruct one specific recent day when the respondent felt notably tired or drowsy at work: what caused the sleep loss the night before, how the fatigue showed up during the shift (mistakes, slowed reactions, mood, near-misses), and what they or their team did about it in the moment. If they reported a near-miss or safety incident tied to drowsiness, get concrete details on what happened and whether it was reported. If they say fatigue rarely affects them, probe what specifically helps them recover sleep despite a demanding schedule.

Q11
Message

Q15
Message

Thank you for sharing this with us. Your responses will be combined with your team's (never shared individually with managers) to guide scheduling changes and fatigue-risk programs.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Goes beyond a static questionnaire with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs one specific recent day the respondent felt dangerously tired, surfacing root causes a checklist can't reach.
  • Combines quantitative core questions (average sleep hours, nights under 6 hours, a matrix of fatigue symptoms, and a slider matrix on how sleep loss affects specific job tasks) with that qualitative deep-dive, so you get both prevalence data and the real story.
  • Directly ties fatigue to safety outcomes with a dedicated near-miss/error/incident question, plus schedule and demographic questions at the end for benchmarking across teams and shifts.
  • Built for HR/EHS/shift-ops workflows with automated per-response quality scoring and auto-generated reports, so results are usable without manual coding of open-ended answers.

Jotform

Sleep Deprivation Survey Form Template

A fielding-ready static form template covering general sleep deprivation topics rather than a workplace-fatigue-and-safety specific instrument. It's easy to customize and embed within Jotform's broader form ecosystem, but the questions are fixed once deployed.

What it does well

  • Simple drag-and-drop customization
  • Large existing template library and integrations
  • Straightforward embedding/distribution via Jotform's form platform

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe specific fatigue incidents
  • No voice AI interview option
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or narrative report generation

QuestionPro

Sleep Deprivation Survey + Sample Questionnaire Template

A sample questionnaire aimed at general sleep deprivation research, presented as a fixed-question template with typical survey-platform analytics behind it. It's positioned more broadly (research/health) than as a workplace safety/EHS-specific fatigue risk tool.

What it does well

  • Established survey research platform with mature analytics/reporting
  • Sample questionnaire structure to start from
  • Supports standard branching/logic for a fixed question set

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI interview that digs into a specific fatigue-related incident
  • No transparent prompt-level methodology disclosed
  • No built-in automated quality scoring of open-text responses

SurveySparrow

Sleep Deprivation Survey Template

A conversational-style survey template filed under healthcare, giving a chat-like feel similar to QuestionPunk's interface but with pre-set questions rather than true AI-driven follow-up. It's a ready-to-field template, useful for quick deployment but not tailored to shift-work/safety incident investigation.

What it does well

  • Conversational chat-style UI that feels approachable to respondents
  • Mobile-friendly template delivery
  • Part of a broader healthcare template category

Where it falls short

  • Fixed conversational flow, not adaptive AI probing of individual incidents
  • No voice AI interview capability
  • No automated report generation tying fatigue to safety/root-cause analysis
