Text me what you thought of the show 😊

Can you really rely on sleep medications to solve your shift work sleep woes? 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. Don't just survive shift work—thrive with the right tools and information.
