Dr John Faul is a respiratory physician and sleep specialist at the Hermitage Medical Clinic. During the Sleep Challenge he will be providing practical input on how people can improve their sleep.
Dr Faul comments: Well done trying to improve your sleep potential. With shift working and a busy lifestyle, it will be impossible to get perfect sleep. Already your routine is improved and allowing for shift, if you can keep your routine as fixed as possible, it will help your body and metabolism to gain a cycle.
