Monday mornings can feel brutal, even when you don’t hate your job. In this episode, we break down why “Mondayitis” is more than just a bad attitude—it’s often a body clock problem.

We explore how weekend sleep habits can throw your circadian rhythm out of sync and why Monday mornings can feel like a weekly dose of jet lag.

• Why Monday mornings can feel harder than they should
 • How your circadian rhythm affects energy, mood, and alertness
 • What happens when weekend sleep schedules shift too far
 • Why sleeping in on weekends can backfire by Monday
 • How alarms can pull you out of the wrong stage of sleep
 • Why teens struggle more with early mornings
 • How chronotypes change as we age
 • Why poor sleep can increase cravings and hunger
 • How light exposure, meal timing, and movement affect your body clock
 • Practical ways to reduce “social jet lag” during the week
 • Details about the free Night Shift Summit and what it covers

If you’ve ever felt like you’re resetting your body clock every single week, this episode will help you understand why.
