Sleep Masterclass - Nurses & Shift-Workers - BENDIGO

Sleep Masterclass – Nurses & Shift Workers

If you’re exhausted after a shift but still struggle to sleep, wake feeling unrefreshed, or find it difficult to recover between changing rosters, this masterclass is designed for you.

Join Deb Herdman, Registered Nurse and Certified Advanced CBTi Sleep Practitioner, for a 90-minute live masterclass focused specifically on the sleep challenges created by night shifts, rotating rosters and changing sleep times.

You may already be working hard to manage your sleep around shifts — but some of the things shift workers are commonly told to do are difficult to maintain, and the science doesn’t always support them as helpful.

This is not just another sleep hygiene talk. You’ll learn therapies and approaches used in clinical practice to improve sleep quality, recovery and alertness while working around the demands of shift work.

You’ll also receive your Sleep Masterclass Toolkit, with evidence-based resources and therapies you can continue using at home and around your roster.

A small, live masterclass in Bendigo with limited places available.

What you will learn

• Understand how shift work affects your circadian rhythm, sleep timing and recovery

• Recognise habits and routines that may be reducing sleep quality or making recovery more difficult

• Learn therapies and approaches used in clinical practice to support better sleep around night shifts and rotating rosters

• Learn how to manage recovery sleep and transitions between different shifts

• Improve sleep quality, fatigue management and daytime alertness

Who is this for?

This session is for nurses, healthcare professionals, first responders and other shift workers working nights, rotating rosters or changing shifts.

It is especially suited to people who feel they are constantly trying to catch up on sleep, struggle to switch off after work, wake unrefreshed despite spending enough time in bed, or want to learn therapies used by sleep practitioners in clinical practice that they can continue using around their own roster.
