Dr Karyn O'Keeffe PhD

Senior Lecturer

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Health Sciences

Dr Karyn O’Keeffe began her career in sleep research and medicine as a Clinical Physiologist at WellSleep, Sleep Investigation Centre, University of Otago Wellington, where she worked for 10 years and gained first-hand experience of shift work.  She has considerable clinical experience in monitoring sleep and managing sleep disorders.  She began to transition to the Sleep/Wake Research Centre in 2006 and has been based there full-time since 2012.

Karyn has been involved in both basic and applied sleep and circadian research, investigating sleep at moderate altitude, treatment provision and adherence for sleep disorders in Aotearoa, such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnoea and narcolepsy, the interaction between ventilatory and cardiac timing during sleep, and shift work and workplace fatigue.  Her current work primarily focuses on the management of shift work and fatigue in healthcare settings, most recently nursing ().  She is currently the primary investigator on projects including The process of shift allocation in workplace fatigue for acute care nurses and Fatigue risk management in healthcare: next steps.  Karyn is a primary and co-supervisor for Master's and PhD Candidates who are exploring experiences of and contributors to sleep health in Aotearoa and innovative ways of improving sleep health.

Karyn works with government and industry groups to provide expert advice on sleep, shift work, and fatigue management. These groups have included health and safety and transport regulators, as well as healthcare, aviation, maritime, transport, and energy organisations.  She also designs and delivers training for a wide range of organisations that need to (a) build their knowledge of fatigue science and fatigue risk management, (b) support workers to understand fatigue risks and their role in managing them and/or (c) build their knowledge of sleep health.

Karyn leads Massey University's suite of courses on sleep and circadian science.  She is the Course Coordinator for two undergraduate courses, two postgraduate courses, and delivers professional development courses, workshops and seminars.

Karyn is President Elect of the New Zealand branch of the Australasian Sleep Association.

Dr Karyn O’Keeffe is a Senior Lecturer at the Sleep/Wake Research Centre, School of Health Sciences.  She coordinates undergraduate and postgraduate courses in sleep and circadian science, is involved in both basic and applied sleep and circadian research, and works with government and industry groups.  Karyn has broad research interests but is particularly passionate about (a) exploring the impacts of shift work and improving the management of the risks associated with shift work and workplace fatigue, (b) strategies to improve sleep health and (c) understanding the lived experience of sleep disorders.
