Join me, Roger Sutherland, in this episode of A Healthy Shift as we shatter the myths surrounding conventional sleep aids and uncover why they might be doing more harm than good. As a seasoned shift worker and certified nutritionist, I share my unique insights on why these medications fail to provide the deep, restorative sleep your body needs and offer a better alternative—melatonin.Discover the science behind melatonin, the natural sleep hormone that can recalibrate your sleep-wake cycle disrupted by irregular schedules and blue light exposure. Learn how external melatonin supplements can be a game changer for shift workers, signaling your body to prepare for rest without the pitfalls of traditional sleep medications. This episode is packed with practical, evidence-based strategies to help you achieve the quality sleep you deserve, so you can feel more energized and ready to tackle your next shift.
