Show Notes
Sleep. It can be so elusive when we work shift work, but is it really possible to get better sleep whilst working 24/7? According to First Class Constable Tracey Rogers it absolutely is, but it all comes back to adopting a ‘Better Sleep Mindset”, and being prepared to do whatever it takes to foster and encourage better sleep.
Tracey Rogers is a First Class Constable with the Tasmanian Police Force, who has worked a combination of shift work and day roles throughout her 15-year career in the Police Force. Understandably, her job can be pretty stressful at times, so being able to unwind and get sufficient quality sleep has become a huge priority and focus for improving her health and well-being.
In this episode you’re going to learn:
- why having an outside interest is absolutely vital in being able to ‘switch off’ from a stressful job and shift
- what Tracey did to conquer her ‘hate relationship with sleep’
- how she overcame self-sabotaging sleep behaviours, that were having a huge impact on her sleep
- why in order to get better sleep, we must be willing to try new things
- Tracey’s top 3 strategies to becoming a healthy shift worker
