If you're reading this article right now then I'm going to assume that you're not a healthy shift worker and that you'd like to learn how to become one.

So firstly "congratulations" for taking this step because being a shift worker is certainly not an easy journey.

But before I go into detail, I need to ask you one simple question - "Do you really think it's possible to become a healthy shift worker?" Because if you don't then you may as well stop reading this article right now and go back to feeling tired and miserable.

But if you do believe it's possible then I've got some good news for you.

Just a quick background on myself - I have over 15 years experience of getting up in the dark and coming home in the dark working shift work in the airline industry, so I do know exactly what it's like to constantly feel tired, to get sick and to have no energy.

But I came to a point where I had to make a decision to either learn how to manage working these crazy hours or to just quit my job completely. I chose the first option.

Now don't get me wrong. You're never going to feel 10/10 working shift work - that's impossible. You're pushing your body to operate against its natural body clock so it's going to fight with you tooth and nail because we're not nocturnal animals - we never have been and never will be. Nature didn't design us that way.

But the good news is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel but you're going to have to be willing to make some changes along the way.

So to start with, you're going to have to take 100% responsibility for your life. Now this means that you're going to have to stop complaining and stop blaming others for your current circumstances. Ouch! The truth hurts doesn't it? You see complaining about things all of the time is not going to make them go away and there comes a time when (for your own sanity), you just have to let it go.

You see for me, changing my mindset has allowed me to accept what I can't change, and to change what I can. And when I did this - I felt an enormous amount of relief that I actually started to feel less tired at work.

I basically made the decision to 'not mind shift work'.

Because when you keep saying "... I hate my job, I hate working shift work, woe is me..." then you're going to attract more of this. In essence your thoughts will attract more of those things.

However if you start to change the way that you think, this mental shift can be very, very powerful. For me, I have literally reversed my thinking which has literally changed my life.
