"For those who are putting in the hard work that keeps the world ticking, while their bodies are screaming for sleep."

Medics, factory workers, and police officers-shift workers-are going against what their bodies are designed to do. The Shift Worker's Paradox is a must-read for anyone living this reality, and a powerful refresher for those who have lived it before.

There comes a point where biology and exhaustion collide, where functioning and the body's natural rhythms are at odds, and survival depends on understanding what constant disruption does to the human system and how shift workers can push back.

This book is the ultimate survival manual for those who don't get the sleep they need. We were not born to live in a state of perpetual rush, yet millions do. Through science and real-life stories, The Shift Worker's Paradox exposes how shift work disrupts internal clocks, metabolism, and aging, and pulls back the curtain on how small, rhythmic changes can begin to repair the damage.

From light therapy and tailored nutrition to adaptogens, precision supplementation, and pharmacological nudges, it offers research-backed, deeply human strategies for those desperate for sleep at 3 a. m. and racing to feel rested by noon. Empathetic and unflinching,

The Shift Worker's Paradox reminds us that biology is not up for debate, and that resilience is not a product of willpower, but of rhythm.
