[387] - Why Night Shift Makes You So Tired Even When You Sleep

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

I explain why night shift fatigue can stick around even after a decent sleep and why the real issue is often circadian disruption. I break down a simple four pillar system so you can reduce biological chaos and recover with less guesswork.

• sleep deprivation versus circadian misalignment and social jet lag
• why sleeping in and random recovery can backfire
• the four pillars for shift worker health: sleep, daylight, movement, nutrient timing
• practical sleep environment upgrades and routine anchors for daytime sleep
• daylight exposure as the strongest biological clock signal and why timing matters
• movement after waking as a low stress way to boost alertness
• night shift nutrition as a timing problem not just a calorie problem
• how to stop chasing tips and build repeatable systems around your roster
• picking your weakest pillar and repeating one behaviour consistently
