Text me what you thought of the show šIn this morning's chat with Tony McManus on 3AW Australia Overnight, we took a lighter look at shift work and some of the benefits that often get overlooked.From quieter roads and fewer bosses to the friendships and funny moments that make night shift memorable, listeners shared what they love about working outside the usual 9 to 5.We also talked about the importance of consistent sleep routines, my recent trip to beautiful Port Fairy, and my November swimming challenge raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.A great morning of conversation, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that while shift work has its challenges, there are plenty of positives worth celebrating.Support the show----------------------------Roger Sutherland is Australia's Night Shift & Sleep Specialist and the founder of A Healthy Shift.After more than 40 years working rotating shifts with Victoria Police, Roger now helps organisations reduce fatigue risk, improve staff wellbeing and build healthier, safer and higher-performing 24/7 workplaces through evidence-based education, circadian biology and the Shift Work Championsā¢ Framework.Shift Work Championsā¢: https://join.ahealthyshift.com/shift-work-capabilityWebsite: https://ahealthyshift.com.auLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-sutherlandInstagram: @a_healthy_shift___________________Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.Ā Always consult a physician before implementing any strategies mentioned in this podcast.
