  • An essential podcast for all shift workers!

    One of my favourite podcasts to listen to to get tips, expertise and advice from someone so passionate and experienced about shift work. Shift work is so incredibly challenging and trying to manage it on your own can feel impossible. Roger dives into every little factor that can worsen or improve shift work. From exercise, to when is best to eat to sleeping. I’ve implemented so many of his suggestions which have positively impacted my work life balance.

  • Change my working life

    I’ve been following Roger for about 18 months now. I did his first challenge and now part of the shift workers collective. I get so much out of these podcasts to make myself a better and healthier shift worker. And his methods work. If it wasn’t for these podcasts, I’d be rolled up in bed sleeping and letting life roll by why everyone else enjoys themselves and builds relationships.
