The Circadian Alignment Protocol — A Practical Guide for Night & Shift Workers
Build a More Consistent Routine Around Your Shift
Night and rotating schedules can make everyday routines difficult to organize. The Circadian Alignment Protocol is a practical digital guide designed to help shift workers structure their sleep, light exposure, meals, caffeine habits, movement, and daily routines around their actual work schedule.
Instead of trying to change everything at once, the guide introduces a phased four-week approach so readers can gradually build and refine their routine.
