What is shift work?

Shift work is any work that falls outside the normal 7am to 6pm working hours. Different shifts include evening, night and early morning shifts, which can be rotated over a set period of time.

The Keeping Well BLMK service and Sleep School will explore how shift workers adopt healthy habits to practice everyday to help improve mental health when working shifts.

Join the one-hour live webinar will focus on:

  • An in-depth look at the sleep challenges faced when shift working
  • How to prepare for working shifts
  • How to stay alert and energised when working shifts
  • Practical tips on how to best wind down for sleep after working nights
  • How to sleep during the day and manage daytime fatigue
  • Optimal lifestyle habits for managing shift work
  • How to effectively transition between shift work patterns
