Struggling to get quality sleep after your night shift? You’re not alone.
Night shifts can wreak havoc on your body’s natural rhythm, especially for first responders, law enforcement officers, correctional staff, and emergency personnel. In this powerful episode of Beyond the Badge, we dive deep into sleep recovery strategies for night shift workers, focusing on the unique demands of high-stress, round-the-clock careers.
Whether you're battling insomnia, feeling drained after every shift, or just want to improve your recovery time, this episode provides actionable tips and tools to reset your sleep routine, boost mental clarity, and enhance your overall wellness.
