Helen is an avid researcher in the areas of sleep, circadian rhythms and insomnia. Her research at Flinders University pioneered the different wavelengths of light (colours) effects on the re-timing of the body clock. Consistent with other contemporary research from other labs, her work confirmed that blue and blue-green light were the most effective for re-timing the body clock. She is particularly interested in cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia and bright light therapies for the treatment of insomnia experienced by adolescents and adults.
Helen is author on a number of peer-reviewed journal articles. She has also co-written a book for the general public describing how to improve sleep and daytime functioning.
Helen earned her PhD from Flinders University of South Australia, and also holds a Masters in Psychology (Clinical).
