Time for hospitals to do better! Shift work disorder leads to workplace accidents, decreased productivity, worse health outcomes for workers, and costs the economy big $s. Workplaces benefit from supporting night shift staff, not making things harder. https://t.co/SVecbg1jRD
@laurenlim_ Supervising is a skill that requires coaching and practice, just like talking to media or teaching a student. Some are naturally good at it but most could do with specific training. Also need time to supervise well, which we often don’t have!

An accepted paper in @JCSMJournal reports the first evidence that the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor reboxetine alone reduces obstructive #SleepApnea (OSA) severity. The data could inform future pharmacotherapy development for OSA. https://t.co/5wzYgTP08a
Normally I’d have been sick 🤮at least 3x by now. Some others must have placebo. I’m feeling fine. Not sleepy. I can read & tweet. A miracle drug. Apparently it’s making the guy in the hat hungry. I’ve eaten my chips & crackers too. Is hunger is side effect? NK1 antag & hunger?
Help @Woolcockmedical understand OSA treatment and brain function.
Does your CPAP therapy affect your daytime function and brain wave activity?
