Our 24/7 world requires round-the-clock operations for optimal corporate productivity, and emergency response. Yet human physiology is inherently designed for rest and sleep at night. Without education, working at night increases safety risks on the job, and increases health concerns including anxiety, depression and suicidality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Given these realities, what can corporations and individuals do to meet these needs and minimize concerns?
When sleep and circadian rhythm training programs are provided, improvement is seen in performance, health and safety.

She translates her clinical experience with individuals’, and teaching background, into effective solutions for corporations to improve performance, health and safety.
