Early Shift Tips

Start early shifts with less fatigue and more structure.

Why this matters

Changing shifts affect sleep, energy, appointments and time with other people. A clear plan makes the next step easier to see.

Lay out clothes, pack your bag and prepare breakfast so the morning needs fewer decisions.

Move bedtime forward gradually and reduce bright screens before sleep.

Bright light after waking and a few minutes of movement can help your body become alert.

Use coffee early in the shift and avoid carrying caffeine into your next sleep window.

Do not overload the afternoon after an early shift. Recovery is part of the plan.
