We challenge the common advice to phase-shift into night shift and lay out a simpler plan that protects your body clock. Treat nights like late evenings, anchor to daylight and meal timing, and use short naps so you can actually enjoy your days off.
• minimum circadian disruption as the core goal
• jet lag analogy applied carefully to shift work
• consistent wake time beats chasing hours
• short naps vs full cycles to manage sleep inertia
• daylight exposure and movement as daily anchors
• eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at normal times
• avoid sedatives for daytime sleep
• step-by-step plan for first, middle, and final night
• practical reset on the day you finish nights
• better outcomes for women’s infradian rhythm
