HSW 109 - Improving Sleep For Shift Workers with Alexandra Shriane
In this episode we're talking with Sleep Researcher and PhD candidate Alexandra Shriane from the Appleton Institute at Central Queensland University on her latest research titled - 'Healthy sleep practices for shift workers: consensus sleep hygiene guidelines using a Delphi methodology'.
As a former Paramedic from the QLD Ambulance Service, Alexandra brings a personal background of shift work to her research which makes for a refreshing conversation!
Published in the journal, SLEEP, her research incorporates 18-clear guidelines to ensure healthy sleep patterns for shift workers - whether on permanent night shift or a rotating roster.
In this interview we discuss:
- The missing gap in sleep research specifically for shift workers.
- What is sleep hygiene and what does it entail?
- The ideal nap duration to enhance alertness or assist with sleep debt recovery.
- How medications and food timing can impact sleep quality and much, much more!
