I’ve been an advisor to @TheLiminalSpace Night Club project for a while, but this is the first time I’ve had the chance to meet the team in person … great to see the project in reality!

Night Club is a fantastic project working across industry (plus some NHS trusts, including @GSTTnhs) to emphasise the impact on sleep, sleep deprivation and fatigue of those who work shifts, especially nightshifts …

Their content won’t be a surprise to you if you follow me, but what @TheLiminalSpace have achieved is how to get information/strategies across, along with top-level commitment to change, that shows what can be done when projects like this are resourced

Seems a good time to remind yourself that how you are thinking and feeling is likely a NORMAL response to EXTRAORDINARY circumstances
There is support and help out there
It is absolutely OK to not feel OK, but don’t ignore it

(usual caveat that, because this was published in the BMJ, “healthcare professionals” was changed to “doctors” in the headline but, clearly, this isn’t just about doctors)
And this, more than ever:

The @gmcuk annual training survey is out, looking in particular at the impact of COVID19 on medical trainers and trainees

As always there is lots of granular data in the report but at the high level:
~25% of trainees & ~20% of trainers score “high” or “very high” on Copenhagen Burnout Inventory questions in the survey
40% of both trainees and trainees describe work as emotionally exhausting

And almost half report feeling tired/fatigued at the end of the day
(though, as always, I think the phrasing of the question “are you exhausted in the morning at the thought of work” is quite an existential way of asking it!)

Sleep is absolutely essential to your physical and mental health
Sleep’s rhythms underpin everything you do, ensuring your brain and body are working at their best: an MoT every night!
We’re often bad at recognising that, and prioritising sleep in our lives

... many of us don’t feel that way though, especially on a weekday!
Most adults in the UK get about an hour’s less sleep than they need each night ... the equivalent of missing an entire night of sleep every week!
