We unpack why day sleep so often fails for shift workers and how to align rest with biology instead of willpower. Practical rules cover darkness, cooling, expectations, caffeine timing and a simple wind-down that sticks.

• circadian misalignment makes daytime sleep lighter and shorter
• abandon seven to nine hours as a day-sleeper target
• plan a core sleep block plus a top-up nap
• make the room pitch black and eliminate LEDs
• cool the room and bedding to support sleep depth
• set a strict 12 o’clock caffeine cut-off
• use a consistent 20–40 minute wind-down routine
• avoid flipping to daywalker mode on days off
• focus on less self-judgement and better timing
