STONEHAM, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 1, 2008 -- CIRCADIAN, the global leader in 24/7 workforce performance and safety solutions for businesses that operate around the clock, today announced a strategic partnership with Sleep Pointe LLC, providers of the most comprehensive sleep apnea management program for the transportation industry. Working together, CIRCADIAN and Sleep Pointe will provide best-in-class sleep disorder screening and treatment services to trucking, rail, aviation, oil services and other 24/7 businesses.

Sleep Pointe has the unique ability to create a customized program that ultimately provides standardized, uniform sleep apnea solutions for their customers -- anytime, anywhere. By using specially equipped trucks and mobile units, delivering temporary clinical setups in hotels and other facilities, and providing over 50 fixed sites, Sleep Pointe has established the first sleep apnea treatment solution tailored specifically to the needs of the transportation industry. Sleep Pointe's staff has serviced over 110,000 patients nationwide, using a proprietary sleep screening, diagnostic and compliance system.

As experts in shiftwork risk management for over half of Fortune 500 companies, CIRCADIAN implements fatigue risk management systems that identify and manage fatigue risk in transportation and other shiftwork industries. With a wide-ranging toolbox of services to reduce fatigue risk, CIRCADIAN and Sleep Pointe bring tremendous value to their customers by offering a unique sleep disorder services solution.

Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, CIRCADIAN's CEO, stated, "Sleep Pointe's impressive sleep disorder solution enhances CIRCADIAN's fatigue risk management system and offers significant value to all 24/7 operations. When obstructive sleep apnea is effectively treated, companies see a 50% reduction in accidents and injuries and a 70% reduction in health care costs in this very expensive group of employees."

"This strategic partnership with CIRCADIAN accomplishes our joint mission to improve the health and wellness of employees within companies that operate 24/7. The value of this shared mission extends beyond the individual health benefits for around-the-clock employees, to the cost-efficiency and bottom-line performance of the companies themselves -- by reducing the incidence of fatigue-related accidents," said Duke Naipohn, Sleep Pointe's CEO. "Sleep Pointe's Mobile Sleep Solution Centers (MSSC) are examples of our ability to uniquely partner with a 24/7 industry and fits nicely within CIRCADIAN'S proven Fatigue Risk Management Solution."

Untreated sleep apnea is known to contribute to serious accidents and to have severe health consequences. Proper treatment of sleep apnea may help reduce the risk of many other associated conditions -- including hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The transportation industry has been identified as having a higher-than-normal rate of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, as well as an increased incidence of these three leading adult health care concerns.
