About Course

The night shift doesn’t have to wreck you. This is the field guide I wish someone had handed me on day one — five modules that take you from your brutal first shifts to actually feeling adjusted. You’ll learn why nights feel so hard (and why that’s normal), how to build daytime sleep that sticks, how to stay safe on the drive home, how to protect your days off and relationships, and how to know you’ve turned the corner — so you don’t quit right before it gets easier. Includes a printable field workbook, a Survival Kit, and the Shift-Fit sleep-plan tool.
