Episode Details

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

We get blunt about the real cost of shift work and why “just toughen up” is the wrong lens for fatigue, health, and safety. We also break down Mondayitis as a body clock problem, not a personality flaw, and share practical ways to reduce the damage. 

• shift work as a health tax that compounds over time 
• lack of education and training for shift workers 
• smarter rostering and why forward rotation matters 
• why permanent night shift does not truly work 
• female shift workers and the added strain of infradian rhythm 
• night shift nutrition and hydration basics 
• high blood pressure and cardiovascular risk from circadian misalignment 
• real caller stories on long shifts, loneliness, family impact, and union pushback 
• Mondayitis, social jet lag, and why you cannot “catch up” on sleep
