Excited to share that I have received an @arc_gov_au #DECRA. Over the next 3 years I will develop a digital assistant designed to help Australians working non-standard hours—like shiftworkers, on-call workers, and gig workers—optimise their sleep and physical activity.
Australia’s 5 million shiftworkers can look forward to smarter shuteye and healthier lifestyles, thanks to Australian Government backing for innovative #CQUniversity #sleep research. Congratulations @PhDsleepy! READ MORE: https://t.co/lJnyGuG0np

Welcome to the world of sleep tourism! 😴🛏️🧳🌎 Read all about it in our new article in @ConversationEDU. Good fun researching this with @drdeanjmiller. @CQU @HealthWise_CQU @CQUni_Appleton
Fancy retreats and suites with sleep butlers and pillow menus are becoming big business. But do you really need to leave home for some shuteye? @cc_gupta + @drdeanjmiller (@CQU) discuss. https://t.co/WV7Xjq3ika

Our freshly published systematic review on the influences & outcomes of #bodyimage in the #postpartum. We found too much focus on intrapersonal factors and a need for more prenatal education @BConfidentMums @bodyimagemvmt @ZaliYager @drkarenaburke
