- A Personal Perspective
Twenty Years of Nights — and Two Young Children
Away from the clinic, Dr Rónan is a father to two young children — an experience that has given him a deep, personal understanding of what it means to navigate life on broken sleep.
Combined with over 20 years of night shifts, he knows firsthand how profoundly disrupted nights can affect every aspect of life — from cognitive performance and emotional wellbeing to physical health and relationships.
That lived experience shapes everything about how he works with patients: with patience, practicality, and a genuine commitment to finding solutions that work in real life.
