Sleep DownUnder 2018 - Highlights

Work publised in Psychopharmacology last month from Assoc Prof Sean Cain's group at Monash University shows that the SSRI citalopram increases sensitivity of the circadian system to light. This is an important finding that has major implications for the treatment of depression, and may explain the relatively poor response to SSRIs in people with depression and eveningness type. In this interview Sean discusses his research and it's implications for the management of depression.

Healthy sleep is more than just the absence of sleep disorders. Prof Daniel Buysse from University of Pittsburgh published a paper on sleep health in Sleep in 2014 (link to the paper here), challenging the field to think about sleep more broadly. In this SleepTalk Snapshot, Dr David Cunnington talks with Prof Buysse about his proposed model for defining healthy sleep.

What is Healthy Sleep?

An integral part of Qantas ultra-long-haul direct service from Australia (Perth) to London is having their passengers arrive healthy and minimising the effects of long-haul flights and jet lag. Building on their existing expertise Qantas has designed the passenger experience for these flights from the ground up including working with Boeing on the design of their 787-9 Dreamliners. Qnatas has also established a research collaboration with the Charles Perkins Centre at The University of Sydney to continue to refine their product. In this episode Phil Capps, Head of Customer Product & Service Development talks with David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) about what Qantas is doing to reduce the effects of ultra-long-haul flying on health and jet lag.

Working out how to best use light to adjust for jet lag can be challenging. But, the Entrain app developed by a team from the University of Michigan including Dr Olivia Walch, can solve that problem for you. Just put in the details of your travel and it will tell you when to get light exposure before and during your travels to help you arrive at your destination with your body clock already adjusted. In this episode, Olivia talks with David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) about the Entrain app, it's development and using mathematics to model the circadian system.
