Fear not, because Roger Sutherland is here to guide you through the shadowy world of nocturnal awakenings with practical advice tailored for those tangled in the web of shift work. With a dual hat as a Nutritionist and Law Enforcement Officer, I bring firsthand experience to the struggles of syncing sleep patterns with irregular schedules.

Discover how the strategic timing of meals and caffeine can make a monumental difference and why your bedroom might just need a detox from tech-induced insomnia.When the sandman plays hard to get, and you find yourself staring at the ceiling, I'll unveil why retreating from the covers and settling into a monotonous activity could be your ticket back to dreamland. In the labyrinth of nighttime disturbances, I light the way with techniques like diaphragmatic breathing that beckon the body's relaxation response, and I also tackle the dark corners where nightmares lurk, offering tools such as guided imagery and journaling to defang these nocturnal beasts. Learn why your smartphone might be the sleep thief in disguise and how to banish the habit of clock-watching that feeds into sleep anxiety.
