Sleep4Performance Podcast

In this episode, I am joined by Dr Jade Murray. Dr. Jade M. Murray completed a PhD programme at the Monash University Sleep and Circadian Medicine Laboratory in 2018. Dr Murray's broad research interests include studying the effects of circadian misalignment on overall health in healthy and sleep-disordered populations and developing simplified methods for determining the timing of the circadian phase. An important innovation in her work has been tracking light-dark exposure data over time to build predictive models of circadian timing for the development of personalised delivery systems for sleep-wake interventions.

In this episode, we discuss Jade's recent paper "Murray JM, Magee M, Giliberto ES, Booker LA, Tucker AJ, Galaska B, Sibenaller SM, Baer SA, Postnova S, Sondag TAC, Phillips AJK, Sletten TL, Howard ME, Rajaratnam SMW. Mobile app for personalized sleep-wake management for shift workers: A user testing trial. Digit Health. 2023 Mar 29"

In this conversation, I chat with my colleague and former PhD student Dr Mitchell Turner on the relationship between sleep and tennis performance. Mitchell is a researcher in the Systematic Profiling in Neurological Conditions (SPIN) team at Edith Cowan University and a sleep consultant at Melius Consulting. Mitchell’s educational background includes exercise and sports science, strength and conditioning and sleep science. Mitchell has recently completed his PhD thesis, which aimed to understand the impact sleep-wake behaviour and chronotype have on match-play and physical performance of tennis players. He coordinates light therapy trials to improve sleep and reduce fatigue for people with neurological conditions. He has established international collaborations, published numerous peer-reviewed publications and presented at international conferences and invited seminars. Mitchell is passionate about sleep, chronobiology, physical performance and data science. He is a former tennis player and coach but is now focused on improving the performance of others through sleep and chronobiology interventions and education.

In this episode, I talk with Professor John Lesku 

John is interested in most things related to sleep.  Using behavioural observations, accelerometry for remote monitoring, and neurophysiological recording techniques, he seeks to provide insight into how sleep and sleep functions have evolved in different types of animals, from flatworms to birds and mammals.  He also studies how ecological factors (e.g., predation risk, reproduction) influence the amount, composition, depth, and timing of sleep.  Most recently, these interests have expanded to include how anthropogenic pollution influences sleeping brain activity in mammals and birds.

Having completed her PhD in the area of adolescent sleep in 2018, Dr Alex Agostini is interested in researching the associations between sleep and health in all ages. This ranges from investigating the relationships between sleep and growth in children and adolescents through to assessing whether coping mechanisms and dietary intakes are associated with shift working populations. Alex is also passionate about education, having been involved in teaching across all levels at UniSA, from foundation studies through to graduate diplomas. 

In this episode, we discuss her recent publication, "Normal Sleep in Children and Adolescence" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1056499320300869

In this episode, I talk with my new friend Dr. Anne Aulsebrook. We continue our journey on learning about birds and sleep and discuss many fascinating topics. The peculiar mating practices and attraction with sleep loss in sandpiper birds  

Dr. Anne Aulsebrook is a behavioral ecologist interested in activity patterns and sleep. During her PhD, she investigated the effects of urban light pollution on sleep in birds. More recently, she has become interested in the behaviour of shorebirds that breed under constant daylight in the arctic. Previous research has shown substantial diversity in the activity patterns of these birds. Intriguingly, male pectoral sandpipers have the least sleep also have the greatest reproductive success. How do males attract females when they have had hardly any sleep? How does activity relate to reproductive success in other shorebirds, with different mating systems? To what extent can male shorebirds change their activity in different social contexts? These are some of the questions that she is exploring during her postdoctoral fellowship.
