Hot off the press! I wrote a little letter to the editor in which I argue for recognition of narcolepsy-related nightmares Narcolepsy-related nightmares: a distinct type of nightmares in need of further study academic.oup.com/sleep/article-…

This was the best news! I am so excited to announce that I was awarded the very competitive Mary Lugton Postdoctoral Research Fellowship University of Melbourne. This Fellowship will extend my PhD research investigating how we can improve clinician training in sleep and insomnia management 🙌

Healthy light & longevity. Excited to share our latest work in PNAS today. Personal light exposure patterns of ~88k individuals shows that bright nights and dark days longitudinally predict earlier mortality. Keep the days bright and the nights dark! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

What a beautiful way to start the last day our our Australasian Sleep Association Sleep DownUnder conference ❤️ #SDU2024

Last chance to register for our #sleep workshop, "How to Fall Asleep Easily: Sleep Tips for the John Tinder Sleep Laboratory." This is a FREE event for University of Melbourne students, hosted by the Brain and Mental Health Hub and supported by a UoM Health Promotion Grant with Amy Jordan and Shima Rouhi.

While in DC engaging in legislative advocacy for Project Sleep I was also being interviewed for a story by CNN! Huge thanks to Dr. Jen Mundt for bridging this opportunity (albeit an evolved topic from the start). #SleepPeeps cnn.com/2024/11/01/hea…

Phenomenal work from ⁦Flinders University⁩…keep you days bright and your nights dark! Brighter nights and darker days predict higher mortality risk: A prospective analysis of personal light exposure in >88,000 individuals - PubMed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39405349/

There is more to our motivations toward light than we’re aware. Our new study led by Malisa Burge shows a powerful motivation in humans toward this blue-enriched light: reducing negative thoughts of ourselves. Is this why we overlight our nights? doi.org/10.1093/sleep/…

If you’re doing research in human sleep & circadian rhythms, you should check this out. Will make getting excellent data MUCH easier!
