A circadian biologist with personal night shift experience. After years of working nights and experiencing firsthand the toll it takes on the body and mind, this site was built to provide the kind of honest, science-backed guidance that was missing from the internet.
ShiftWorkerLove.com is an evidence-based health resource for shift workers, written by Dr. Sarah Chen, PhD.

Over 10 million Americans work night shifts. Millions more work rotating schedules, early mornings, or irregular hours. These workers — nurses, paramedics, factory workers, security personnel, truck drivers, and countless others — are doing essential work while their bodies pay a significant biological price.
The research is clear: chronic circadian disruption increases risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, depression, and metabolic syndrome. Yet most shift workers receive little to no guidance on how to protect their health.
Shift Worker Love exists to change that. Every article is grounded in peer-reviewed research, written in plain language, and focused on practical strategies that actually work in the real world of shift work.
