Elizabeth Shannon is a sleep evangelist, researcher, educator, and outlying industry expert.
She was introduced to brain wave technologies and meditation in 1978 at pioneering personal development seminars. This interest continued outside of her professional work at KPMG, Kellogg’s and the NAB – as peak performance was not discussed in workplaces at the time.
After marrying a grazier and moving to a remote sheep property, her Compatibility Blanket™ bedding invention in 2000 saw a return to sleep research.
Her "Sleep with the Experts" webinar program in 2009 was attended by insomniacs and health care professionals from all 5 continents, and lead to the "Sleep Mojo" book, which has been updated and incorporated into "Alarming Sleep Secrets".
Shannon is a regular on the Today Show, featured on 9am with David and Kim, Radio KPCC Southern California, 2UE, 3AW, 4BC, 6PR, ABC, the Sydney Morning Herald, Herald-Sun, The Age, the Sunday Telegraph and numerous publications.
She makes no apology for not being a medical doctor or professor.
"Alarming Sleep Secrets" highlights mismanagement, malpractice, conflicts of interest, professional negligence and corporate and government duty of care breaches. Qualified experts created, represent, organize and actively support this fundamentally broken system that is costing many lives, and the lives of children.
Noisy, funny, pragmatic, even caustic, she's guaranteed to wake you up about sleep and mental health issues.
Elizabeth lives in Sydney and has a son.
