Frontiers Physiology has a special issue on optimising performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Our paper - just published - has guides regarding daily use of judiciously timed light exposure/avoidance, melatonin, and exercise to minimise #jetlag.

Some sleep hygiene guides recommend against evening exercise - but here we show that 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise ending 90 minutes before bed does not interfere with night-time sleep (at least in healthy, young, adult males).

Earlybrid closes May 15!
Come join the WTS's next scientific meeting - "Innovations in Research and Practice for Improving Shiftworker Health & Safety".
A great way to hear about the latest research and to meet current/emerging research leaders.

Reminder!! May 15 is the last day for early bird registration for the 24th WTS Symposium, to be held September 9–13, 2019 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA. We'd love to see you there! shiftwork2019.com #WTS_ICOH #Shiftwork2019 eiseverywhere.com/ehome/3632…
A PhD scholarship is available at CQUniversity's Appleton Institute @CQUni_Appleton in the area of physical activity / health.
This one will be based in Rockhampton (in tropical QLD), not Adelaide.

This #PhD #scholarship is still open, not much interest for it to date, it must only be us nerds who are interested in that topic, please retweet (to be clear: this scholarship comes with an annual stipend of $27,500AUD per year for 3 years!)
Yes good point!
In the paper, we argued there are two main reasons why it is difficult to substantially advance bedtime:
1. the requirement and/or desire to spend time with family/friends
2. the presence of a physiological 'forbidden zone' for sleep in the evening

I wonder, why the conclusion is not if you have early morning sessions, you'd better adjust your lifestyle so that you get enough sleep.
Sleep or Swim? Early-morning training severely restricts the amount of sleep obtained by elite swimmers bit.ly/2IUGBzo
What is more important for health - an extra hour of sleep or an extra hour of exercise? smh.com.au/lifestyle/health-…

ICOH's Working Time Society has just released a special issue of open-access consensus papers in Industrial Health - describing current approaches to identifying and managing OHS risks in shift work.

What is "circadian disruption"? My review (with beautiful artwork by @oliviawalch) is online! This single author thing is 1 of the scariest things I have done in my academic life so far. Thanks to Doro Fischer, @ajkphillips, @TillRoen, M. Parsons, & L. Hunt for their support!!
Hear me talking to @DavidCunnington about circadian rhythms and depression on the Sleep Talk podcast. Thanks for having me on the show! omny.fm/shows/sleep-hub/rhyt…
A new study shows that shift workers with mostly night work and frequent rotations (≥50% night and ≥10% rotation) had about four times higher risk of incident hypertension compared to non-night workers @FIOH disq.us/t/38ycvah
Read-access for the final form of our @EJNeuroscience review on the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of shift work is now available at this link rdcu.be/bctv3 @Mind_the_time #Shiftwork #Sleep #Health

Hello - Greg Roach here.
I am a researcher at CQUniversity's Appleton Institute for Behavioural Science in Adelaide, Australia.
I am starting this account to share information regarding my areas of research interest - sleep, fatigue, and circadian rhythms.
