A Healthy Shift

[349] - You Don’t Have a Sleep Problem You Have a Shutdown Problem

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

We unpack why most shift workers don’t have a sleep problem, they have a shutdown problem, and how a four‑minute S.L.E.E.P. routine creates a reliable off‑ramp from adrenaline to deep, restorative rest. We keep it simple, practical and repeatable so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

• identifying the real issue as shutdown, not insomnia
• difference between melatonin sleep and exhaustion collapse
• why consistency trains the nervous system
• how dim light signals safety and night
• 4‑7‑8 breathing to switch off fight or flight
• removing stimulation to avoid operational mode
• progressive relaxation to drop muscle and neural tension
• building a nightly pattern that expands deep sleep
• practical recap of the SLEEP routine
