[322] - Managing Night Shift Better

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

We challenge the myth that you can flip your body clock and share a practical plan to work with biology instead of fighting it. Simple changes to food timing, light exposure, caffeine, sleep setup, and training can make night shifts survivable and your days off feel human again.

• Why nights never fully adapt to your rhythm
• Mistakes that ruin alertness and recovery
• Light management for alertness and sleep
• Meal timing and snack ideas that digest well
• The midnight caffeine cutoff and why it matters
• Building a dark, cool, quiet sleep space
• Nap tactics and realistic sleep targets
• When to train, when to deload, and why
• Blending science with lived experience for real-world wins
