Modern-day society is always on, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Advancements in technology, globalisation and consumer demand have primarily driven this. Whilst there are financial benefits to individuals, companies and the gross domestic product of a nation, it leads to an increase in shiftwork, irregular work hours and always being connected to work.
This impacts sleep health, cognitive and physical performance, health and safety and psychosocial health and well-being, which may cause accidents and affect productivity and cost. With more than 200 scientific references, this guide is grounded in the latest scientific findings where we present scientific insights and practical applications for individuals and organisations with links to many other resources on our Sleep4Performance platform.
In this guide for sleep health and shiftwork, we will explore the science and practical application of:
- Sleep Science and Circadian Rhythms
- Sleep Disorders
- Sleep Loss, Performance and Shiftwork
- Commuting, Travel and Jet Lag
- Managing Sleep
This book is a necessary addition to the bookshelf for those interested in improving sleep health, working irregular hours, leading teams, travelling for work, or doing shiftwork. Minimise risk and improve your sleep health with this practical guide today.
