Why this matters

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

Practical tips

Darken the room

Blackout curtains, an eye mask and fewer notifications can improve daytime sleep.

Keep repeatable routines

Similar steps before sleep help your body recognize that the workday is over.

Manage light

Seek bright light when you need to wake up and reduce it before your planned sleep.

Time caffeine

Use caffeine as a tool early in the shift, not as a replacement for recovery.

Plan sleep with your roster

Seeing upcoming shifts early makes naps, appointments and recovery easier to coordinate.

Plan around your real rotation

Shift Lion helps you keep shifts, days off and appointments in one place and compare schedules with the people who matter.
