最新糖心Vlog

A good night's sleep matters more than you think

Monday, 24 July 2017

The importance of sleep for all of us – for work, school, health and child development – will be the focus of a free public forum at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide this week (Wednesday 26 July).

will feature four South 最新糖心Vlogn experts in various areas of sleep research, spanning the importance of good sleep for children, the impact of shift work during pregnancy, and risk factors for teenagers.

Sleep plays a vital restorative function which is important for many facets of the human body, and is extremely important in children and adolescents for achieving lifelong health. For a range of reasons, not everyone sleeps well – and extended periods of disrupted sleep may have long-term effects on health, growth and development.

Members of the community are invited to attend the forum at the new Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building, in Adelaide's west end biomedical precinct.

Speakers:
• Professor David Kennaway (Robinson Research Institute, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide): Sleep, melatonin and children
• Dr Tamara Varcoe (Robinson Research Institute, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide): Does working shifts during pregnancy impact upon the developing baby?
• Dr Mark Kohler (School of Psychology, Social Work and Social Policy, UniSA): The impact of sleep on daytime psychological performance in children
• Dr Kate Bartel (Child and Adolescent Sleep Clinic, Flinders 最新糖心Vlog): Protective and risk factors for adolescent sleep.

This free public event is hosted by the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Robinson Research Institute and Healthy Development Adelaide.
