[395] - Five Words Every Shift Worker Has Heard

A Healthy Shift | The Shift Work Podcast

About

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

If you've worked shifts for more than a week, you've probably heard someone say:

"You'll get used to it."

But what if that's not actually true?

In this episode I share why this simple phrase shaped the way I thought about shift work for decades, and why understanding what your body is really doing changes everything.

Whether you're new to shift work or you've been doing it for 30 years, this episode might completely change the way you think about fatigue, sleep and your health.
