Greg Roach (3rd Term)
Greg Roach is an Associate Professor at the Appleton Institute for Behavioural Science, CQUniversity. Greg has conducted a range of projects in laboratory-, simulator-, and field-based settings. This research is focussed on the impact of irregular work schedules on the sleep/wake behaviour of shiftworkers; the development of technologies and systems to manage the fatigue risk associated with shiftwork; the mechanisms that control the human sleep/wake system; the effectiveness of split sleep/work schedules for employees in industries that require long hours of duty on consecutive days; the impact of sleep restriction and body clock disruption on a predisposition to develop chronic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease; and the relationships between training load, sleep patterns, and sports performance in world-class athletes.
