Speaking & Consulting

Corporate sleep keynotes & workshops.

I'm Dr Amelia Scott, a clinical psychologist and sleep researcher. I deliver evidence-based talks on sleep, stress and mental wellbeing for teams and organisations.

Why sleep matters at work

Sleep shapes how your people think, feel and perform.

Sleep affects thinking, emotional regulation and the stress response. Poor sleep narrows focus and heightens reactivity. Supporting good sleep health supports both employee wellbeing and more sustainable performance.

Clearer thinking

Focus & decisions

Supports focus, decision-making and mental clarity when it matters most.

Stress recovery

Steadier under pressure

Helps regulate emotions and respond steadily to the demands of the workplace.

Sustainable performance

Perform without burning out

Helps teams function well over the long run, without running on empty.

The business case

The cost of poor sleep at work.

Almost 4 in 10 Australians regularly don't get enough quality sleep — and it shows up at work, through absenteeism, presenteeism and reduced participation.

32%

of the workforce are poor sleepers, and 19% have clinical insomnia.

10.5 days

more absent each year, on average, than a good sleeper.

50%

higher risk of injury, absenteeism and safety violations with a sleep disorder.

$3,958

in sleep-related productivity losses per affected employee, each year.
