‘Sleep washes the brain’: How shift workers can improve sleep

The recipe for sleep health: “Build a sleep window, protect the sleep window, and let your sleep accountant balance the books.” On this Better Every Shift playback, we revisit one of our most enlightening episodes, as Dr. Glenn Landry — a self-proclaimed “sleep geek” — details how shifter workers can improve their sleep. He explains the science behind how to prepare the body for sleep, when to nap and why sleep is a “team-based sport.” Landry also shares information about a curriculum for shift workers that’s essentially “Netflix for sleep health.” This episode of the Better Every Shift Podcast is sponsored by MagneGrip.
