Game-day temperature predicts @NFL game outcome even when accounting for home-advantage. I wonder if true for other comps too @NCAAFootball #competitiveadvantage. Research @Deakin https://t.co/fzopw7h6DC

@jacquietran Of course @jacquietran. Easy to do given the kindness and support showed toward me as I embarked on my research career many years ago.

NEW evidence emotional factors are associated with pre-race sleep of female endurance athletes. Useful for informing strategies to promote sleep pre-race. @LuanaCMain @curwin93 @RhiannonSnipe @liliaconvit @CondoDominique @Deakin @DeakinIPAN

Delaying school start times by 1hr = 1) more sleep, 2) better attendance, and 3) superior academic performance. Conclusion: "A delay in school start time should be seriously considered to improve sleep and academic achievements of students." Quite. https://t.co/9ShdYw7MJc

@craig_staunton @Mittuni @MIUN_idrott @Vintersportcent Nice! Well done mate, and what a great sport to be working in. Enjoy.

Excited to share this paper from my lab, @circadianumbers, Vineetha Kalavally & @elisemcglashan. With our wearable light sensor, we found evening home light to be too bright. Extending twilight until bed is not what our bodies evolved to cope with!
