What is sleep for?
Dr Oliver Shipston-Sharman

It highlights how poor sleep affects cognition, productivity, and long-term wellbeing. Learn why sleep is a workplace risk factor and how MOAI Health helps businesses address it.
Dispelling a sleep myth: Our sleep has been getting worse in the modern era
Dr Oliver Shipston-Sharman
This article examines the widespread belief that modern life has dramatically reduced sleep duration. Research shows that average sleep time has remained stable for over 60 years, but factors like shift work and stress still affect sleep quality. It discusses the real risks of sleep misalignment and how MOAI Health supports organisations in improving workplace sleep health.
Dispelling a sleep myth: We sleep far less than we evolved to
Dr Oliver Shipston-Sharman
This article explores the myth that our ancestors slept more than we do today. Research on hunter-gatherer societies suggests they sleep 5–7 hours per night, similar to modern populations. It examines why this challenges assumptions about sleep deprivation and its impact on workplace performance and resilience. Learn how MOAI Health helps organisations manage sleep-related risks.

What is anxiety?
