What is more important for health - an extra hour of sleep or an extra hour of exercise? smh.com.au/lifestyle/heal… This baby has found a way to do both at the same time - sleep & swim/dance... #WTS_ICOH #ACS_Chrono #ASA_Chrono #ASA_OHSP

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 #WTS_ICOH

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. #WTS_ICOH #ACS_CHRONO #ASA_CHRONO

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). #WTS_ICOH #WTS_CHRONO #ASA_CHRONO
