Snoring is highly prevalent in the adult community & is associated with a ~20% - 80% inc. in #hypertension prevalence, independent of OSA severity, in data from >12k participants. Could therapeutic interventions targeted at snoring reduce hypertension? nature.com/articles/s4174…

📜 Just Published: Leveraging machine learning and an under-mattress sensor, our study predicts vigilance impairment from the single pre-shift sleep. This approach offers a simple, tech-driven solution to pre-empt vigilance errors in shift work settings. doi.org/10.1111/jsr.14…

PhD Scholarship Opportunity! Come work with us on a new NHMRC Ideas Grant-funded project, which will develop new ways to track circadian rhythms with wearable devices to deliver personalised light therapy. See more info here: flinders.edu.au/scholarships/p…

New paper! About 70% of adults sleep 7-9 h/night on average, but only 15% sleep 7-9 h for at least 5 nights per week. New findings with an under-mattress consumer sleep tracker: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S23…

Great to share my work on predicting vigilance from sleep at #SDU2022. A wonderful conference filled with interesting people!

Huge thanks to all the co-authors; @1hannahscott, @appletonsarah01, @SleepWorkHealth, @Yohannes_A_M_6, @tiff_gill14, @DrNicoleLovato, @A_Sweetman1, @kelseylbickley, @RJTAdams and @AISHsleeplab. Such a supportive group for such a hefty manuscript!

New paper time 🚨 My first publication, and freely available questionnaire, "The Good Sleeper Scale-15 items: a questionnaire for the standardised assessment of good sleepers", is out! doi.org/10.1111/jsr.13…

Well this is one of the coolest thing to ever happen to me: THIM is in an art exhibition in Paris! Yep, PARIS!!! See this super zoomed-out photo of THIM on this lovely model's finger.

My first publication is here 🙌 Overall, we find that the trauma film paradigm is typically well-tolerated by participants: doi.org/10.1080/105084…. A huge thank you to my supervisors @MelTakarangi and @DrRegNixon + all the support from the @Takarangi_Lab

@tjaltree @tsanz_thoracic Congrats Tom! Very well deserved

Very pleased to win the local @tsanz_thoracic new investigator award for my first PhD study in #OSA

Excited to share our new paper from my #PhD! Sleep is critical for good #mentalhealth, yet 47% of trainee psychologists do not receive any #sleep or #insomnia education during graduate training in 🇦🇺 @DrSleepPsych @ImogenRehm @MoiraJunge Lisa Meltzer tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

How about this restless teddy bear? Hardly content with me watching #SDU2021 and not playing... #petsofSDU @1hannahscott @JStone_247 @cc_gupta @asa_nest

But wait! There's more! PhD student Jack Manners presenting The Good Sleeper Scale 13 this afternoon. Good sleepers are ubiquitous as a control group in sleep research – so why aren’t we standardising their recruitment criteria? #sleeppeeps #SDU2021
