Description

Service delivery options: On site. With over 23 years of extensive experience in various medical and surgical health fields, I specialize as a Registered Clinical Sleep and Respiratory Physiologist Technician, deeply dedicated to the field of sleep science and its pivotal role in managing fatigue. Recently, I had the privilege of being featured as a Sleep Hygiene expert on TV3’s AM show.

My focus lies in collaborating with 24/7 operational companies and those prioritizing fatigue risk management under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA). I am particularly passionate about raising educational awareness within New Zealand’s transport industry, delivering seminars tailored to the specific needs of your workforce. These sessions emphasize the critical link between fatigue and sleep.

A typical seminar would cover:

• Definition of fatigue v’s sleepiness
• Four main causes of fatigue
• Signs and symptoms of fatigue
• Sleep (circadian rhythm and sleep cycles)
• The benefits of sleep
• The dangers of micro-sleeps
• How ‘out of work’ works for or against your performance while at work
• Understanding the effects of sleep disorders in the 24/7 workforce
• Fatigue Management Solutions
• Napping
• Bedtime routine (sleep hygiene)
• Stimulant and sedative use and avoidance
• The benefits of water and good nutrition
• The importance of exercising to reduce fatigue
• How to get the perfect nights sleep!
