How can I work in harmony with my body clocks? Coping strategies for shift work and social jet lag.

The demands of policing often mean long and irregular working hours. In this session, we discuss the science of how shifting schedules can impact on food choices, mood, immune function and cognitive performance. 

As part of National Response Week, we are inviting you to join us for this webinar and giving you the opportunity to shape the content to help you get better sleep.

We’ll use case studies to share ideas for how shift workers can balance the demands of work and family, as well as tools and techniques to help with sleeping during the day, and staying awake at night. 

There will also be an opportunity for Q&A with Sophie and Chief Inspector Dr Yvonne Taylor, our national fatigue and sleep lead.
