@AcademicChatter I am a Professor at CQUniversity.
Frontiers Physiology has a special issue on optimising performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Our paper has guides regarding daily timing of light exposure/avoidance, exogenous melatonin, and exercise to minimise #jetlag.

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).

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.

Reminder!! May 15 is the last day for early bird registration for the 24th WTS Symposium, to be held September 9–13, 2019 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA. We'd love to see you there! https://t.co/R5PWOyEEiT #WTS_ICOH #Shiftwork2019 https://t.co/Y3FqqlXECb

A PhD scholarship is available at CQUniversity's Appleton Institute @CQUni_Appleton in the area of physical activity / health.
This one will be based in Rockhampton (in tropical QLD), not Adelaide.

[Corneel Vandelanotte @CorneelVDL]

This #PhD #scholarship is still open, not much interest for it to date, it must only be us nerds who are interested in that topic, please retweet (to be clear: this scholarship comes with an annual stipend of $27,500AUD per year for 3 years!)

[Greg Roach @CBTmin]

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

I wonder, why the conclusion is not if you have early morning sessions, you'd better adjust your lifestyle so that you get enough sleep.
Sleep or Swim? Early-morning training severely restricts the amount of sleep obtained by elite swimmers https://t.co/67TKrB0f38

What is more important for health - an extra hour of sleep or an extra hour of exercise? https://t.co/4IMfkELb3Q
This baby has found a way to do both at the same time - sleep & swim/dance...

[Greg Roach @CBTmin]

@skyes90239884 WOW!! That baby is sleeping, swimming, and doing the 'sprinkler' dance move all at the same time!!!!!
PS. I have a standing bet to win $100 if I can fall asleep breathing through a snorkel with my head submerged - might just send the cash straight to the baby...

@ChristianBosse In the paper, we argued there are two main reasons why it is difficult to substantially advance one’s bedtime: (i) the requirement and/or desire to spend time with family/friends, and (ii) the presence of a physiological 'forbidden zone' for sleep in the evening (see Lavie, 1986)

What is "circadian disruption"? My review (with beautiful artwork by @oliviawalch) is online! This single author thing is 1 of the scariest things I have done in my academic life so far. Thanks to Doro Fischer, @ajkphillips, @TillRoen, M. Parsons, & L. Hunt for their support!!

A new study shows that shift workers with mostly night work and frequent rotations (≥50% night and ≥10% rotation) had about four times higher risk of incident hypertension compared to non-night workers @FIOH https://t.co/FHidZPYBnE
