Very excited to share my first paper from my PhD! Using new metrics for measuring light regularity we show that irregular sleepers also have irregular inputs to the circadian system, which likely contributes to circadian disruption. bit.ly/3Hzb03D

Monash University is currently seeking volunteers for a study exploring personalised sleep & light intervention to improve shift worker’s sleep and alertness. Find out more information, including eligibility, here: sleephealthfoundation.org.au/about-us/volun…

If you're performing laboratory-based interventions to study the non-visual effects of light in humans, check out our new preprint on a consensus-based reporting checklist & guidelines for such studies! Very proud of this wonderful collaboration🤩

My paper elucidating the physiological contributors to #OSA in patients with interstitial lung disease now published in #AJRCCM. Thanks Blue journal for excellent peer review process which enhanced this work. Brad Edwards MonashSleepLab pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37311238/

Are you a #shiftworker? We have a research study seeking shift workers, aged from 20 to 50 years, to participate in a study investigating the relationship between work schedules, sleep timing, and the body clock. Find out more here redcap.link/SIMstudy #work #sleep

We analyzed light exposure patterns in >88k people in the UK Biobank. People with more night light exposure had higher mortality risk over the following years. This relationship was explained by modeling the effects of light on the circadian clock. medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

New work from our lab! Light exposure patterns analysed in >88k people. Those with exposure to brighter night light had higher mortality risk in following years. Explained by disrupted circadian rhythms. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

We've known for a while that short sleep leads to earlier mortality. Now, we've found that irregular sleep is actually an even stronger predictor of mortality. Why? Probably circadian disruption. We may need a rethink on which dimensions of sleep matter the most for health.

Welcome to #SleepHealthWeek 2023! Alongside diet and exercise, sleep is one of the three pillars of health. This week, we'll be highlighting the pivotal role sleep plays in health, and how this is embodied in this year's theme: Better Sleep. Better Health. #sleephealth

Great PhD opportunities to work with Tracey Sletten & Prerna Varma, PhD at MonashSleepLab ! Wonderful group doing cutting edge research targeting sleep health in #shiftworkers

Our latest study! Published in Nature Mental Health today, we show that bright days and dark nights are of fundamental importance for mental health. Individual light exposure data from >85,000 people…14 million hours of light data. Epic! Led by Angus Burns with

Really exciting talk by Prerna Varma, PhD on using biomathematical modelling to co-design sleep recommendations with real shift workers. Shift worker perspectives are so important for intervention sustainability! World Sleep Society

Tracey Sletten at World Sleep Society discussing why we need to tailor intervention for shift workers and how evidence-based interventions can be implemented in practical ways
