Congratulations to Alexandra Shriane from CQ University, the winner of the Sleep Health Foundation's Innovation and Sleep Science Communication Award for 2023!

As part of the final stage for the Award, finalists were invited to present their research live, answering the prompts of how they could see their research being translated into practice, and its potential to have a positive impact on society.

In this video, Alex shares her winning presentation that uses a Delphi methodology to develop consensus sleep hygiene guidelines for shift workers. Thank you for the amazing work you're doing, Alex. We look forward to seeing how your research translate into further impacts and outcomes.
