Episode 72
Sunday, 7 December, 2025

Irregular hours. Night Shifts. Long days, blurring into longer nights. For many health professionals, disrupted sleep isn’t the exception; it’s the norm. But poor sleep doesn’t have to be part of the job. In this panel discussion, we’ll explore the science behind sleep and shiftwork, share the latest research on how disrupted sleep impacts health and wellbeing, and provide practical strategies to build healthier sleep habits, no matter your roster. Featuring insights from Dr Matthew Coleshill (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Black Dog Institute) and Kristy Ross (Clinical Psychologist, Black Dog Institute), and moderated by Dr Sarah Barker, this session will share practical, evidence-based strategies to help you manage fatigue, optimise rest, and perform at your best, no matter your roster.
