Night shift work doesn’t have to leave you feeling wrecked — with the right approach, you can transition into, through, and out of your shifts with far less disruption.Here’s what I cover:Why waking early on the day of your first night shift works better than staying up late the night beforeHow eating at normal daytime hours helps maintain circadian alignmentThe power of a short nap or 90-minute sleep before your first night shiftFinding your rhythm: are you a one-sleep or two-sleep person between shifts?Why sleep medications don’t equal proper restHow to set clear expectations with your household to protect your sleepThe best way to handle your final night shift and reset your body clockSimple tricks like changing your sheets or booking a lunch date to help your body transitionWhy early rising the day after your recovery day speeds up your return to normal rhythmIf you’re new to nights — or just sick of feeling wrecked by them — this episode will help you build a healthier approach.For more info or to work with me, head to ahealthyshift.com.Support the show---------------------------- ANNOUNCING "The Shift Workers Collective" https://join.ahealthyshift.com/the-shift-workers-collective Click the link to learn all about it----------------------------- YOU CAN FIND ME AT Website Instagram LinkedIn Shift Work Health and Wellbeing Seminars One2One Coaching _____________________ Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.
