Centre for Sleep Science

As the team bows out for another year for our own little piece of R&R, we reflect on an extremely busy and productive 2025 we've had on the research and education front.

We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and interest in all things sleep and look forward to what 2026 brings with new opportunities, continuing education and ongoing collaborations.

We wish you all an amazing festive season and a well-deserved break filled with wellness, restoration and great sleep! 😴✨

As we head into the holiday season, many of us have the opportunity to have a good daytime nap, especially during those festive weeks when our routines are more relaxed and less scheduled.

Daytime napping in healthy adults can be an effective way to recharge when we've had a shorter night's sleep than usual. Effective napping can boost, energy, alertness, concentration and mood.

As cosy as a holiday nap can be however, it's important to be mindful of the right and wrong ways to nap, since napping at the wrong time can actually disrupt our nighttime sleep.

Here we outline a few DO's and DON'Ts for effective nap-taking this season.

With insomnia symptoms affecting around 30-35% of the population at any given time, it's important to recognise the significant short-term and long-term consequences that insomnia can pose on an individual.

Addressing insomnia and its associated symptoms is essential for preventing long- term consequences and promoting optimal sleep health. Remember better sleep means a more well rested and resilient you!

It's never too early to start thinking and planning your study and career goals for 2026 and November is a great time to do just that!

Whether you are considering a career change into sleep science or aiming to upskill for professional growth, our Science of Sleep course offers the perfect foundation to get started!

Take it as a stand-alone course or combine it with our popular Measurement of Sleep course for a more comprehensive learning experience.
