#195: Think three 12s means a breezy four days off? We pull back the curtain on the nursing schedule everyone loves to glamorize and lay out what those days actually feel like: recovery that swallows time, errands that only exist during business hours, and the mental load of gearing up to do it again. From the first cup of coffee to the late-night charting sprint, we trace the unspoken timeline of a “12-hour” shift that too often stretches to 14 or 16.We go beyond the TV version of nursing to show the layered reality: IT troubleshooting, de-escalation, family communication, lab interpretation, and rapid coordination—on top of meds, assessments, and documentation that has to be right. We talk pay myths, why overtime isn't a perk, and how the post-pandemic spotlight dimmed even as shortages intensified. You'll hear how circadian rhythms get scrambled, cortisol stays high, and meals turn into quick bites between alarms, plus the quiet strain on holidays and relationships when your life runs on a different clock than everyone else's.There's nuance too. Some nurses thrive on twelves; others prefer eights or tens. The constant is the need for better ratios, real breaks, flexible scheduling, and pay that respects responsibility. We share why we still choose the work—the teamwork, the purpose, the privilege of helping on someone's worst day—while being honest about what must change to keep nurses at the bedside. If you've ever wondered whether three days on and four off is a dream or a myth, this conversation gives you the language and context to answer clearly.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs to hear it, and leave a review so more people can find these stories.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat, where we break down the highs, lows, and real talk of life on the frontlines of medicine. In this episode, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Brian Ferguson—a former military special operator and founder of Arena Labs—to explore what it truly means to perform under pressure in today's healthcare landscape.Drawing on his unique experience in both military special operations and high performance coaching, Brian unpacks the surprising similarities between the worlds of medicine and the military: relentless stress, long hours, a drive to serve, and the ever-present risk of burnout. Together, Dr. Bonta and Brian dive into actionable, science-backed strategies for stress management, sleep recovery, and resilience—techniques inspired by elite athletes, fighter pilots, and creative professionals, but tailored to the real challenges healthcare workers face every day.This isn't just a conversation about burnout or self-care. It's about honoring the trust society places in clinicians—and learning how to show up at our best for our patients, our teams, and our own families. Whether you're a seasoned doctor, a new resident, or just someone chasing your own version of peak performance, today's episode is packed with practical wisdom to help you thrive in high-pressure environments.Plug in for a thought-provoking, entertaining, and genuinely useful discussion that just might change the way you approach your work—and your life.Episode Lessons Sleep Is Foundational Performance — Prioritizing sleep is essential for peak performance, decision-making, and longevity—especially in high-stress healthcare environments.Shift Culture, Not Just Schedules — The outdated badge-of-honor mentality around sleep deprivation in healthcare must be replaced with a performance-focused narrative.Embrace Science-backed Recovery — Active recovery—intentional downtime and enjoyable activities—significantly restores energy, resilience, and emotional health for clinicians.Measure What Matters Regularly — Consistent tracking of sleep, stress, and recovery using wearables helps target and improve health and performance outcomes.Performance Tools Are Transferrable — Techniques from elite athletics and military training can greatly benefit healthcare professionals facing similar high-pressure demands.Early Adoption Builds Resilience — Learning and practicing high-performance skills early in medical training equips clinicians to handle future stress more effectively.Community Strengthens Well-being — Strong teams and shared purpose provide essential support, prevent isolation, and buffer against the stresses of clinical practice.Reframe Burnout for Growth — Focusing on human flourishing, not just preventing burnout, fosters a culture of aspiration and ongoing improvement in healthcare.Healthcare Deserves Elite Support — Division 1 athletes have more performance resources than most clinicians; bridging this gap is vital to sustainable healthcare excellence.Episode Timestamps 03:58 – The Alchemist: Lessons for Medical Training 09:20 – Military Fiction's Team-Based Allure 12:23 – Healthcare and Military Similarities 15:24 – Trust and Nuance in Medicine 17:06 – Sleep: The Key to Performance 20:18 – Recovery Beyond Medicine 25:07 – Evolving Healthcare Performance Strategies 29:01 – Science-Based Human Performance Tools 30:36 – Real-Time Solutions to Burnout 33:13 – Clinician-Led Decisions vs. Wellness Trends 38:08 – Decline of Team Spirit in Healthcare 39:14 – Unlocking Personal Performance Tools 44:06 – Redefining Healthcare Performance Norms 47:30 – Fostering Sustainable Peak Performance

Balancing career and parenthood isn't easy, and for many parents, traditional childcare options just don't fit. Megan Donovan, founder of Shift Work and Play, set out to change that. After leaving a career in policy and advocacy, Megan built a coworking model that offers parents dedicated work time while their kids enjoy structured play sessions, filling a gap most childcare and coworking models miss. In this episode, Megan shares her journey, the challenges of running a coworking + childcare business, and why her members say the model has been life-changing. We cover: Megan's unconventional career path and the “lightbulb moment” that led to Shift Work and Play. How the childcare model works, and how she balances staffing with flexibility for parents. Why part-time, flexible childcare is such a missing piece in most communities. The types of members attracted to this model, and how it impacts their mental health and productivity. What she's learned about programming, community building, and diversifying revenue streams. Megan's story is a great reminder that coworking is at its best when it solves a very real problem for its community.

In this latest AMA instalment, Matt and Dr. Eti Ben Simon begin by discussing environmental influences on sleep. The conversation covers how high latitude and prolonged daylight disrupt circadian rhythms, with Eti sharing her own personal experience. Together, our duo shares strategies for managing light exposure and regulating core body temperature with methods like warm baths. The episode also offers evidence-based approaches for shift workers, including strategic napping and forward-rotating schedules.The discussion then shifts to internal mechanisms, debunking the "sleep before midnight" myth and emphasizing alignment with one's chronotype. The role of the thalamus as a sensory gate for blocking pain during sleep is detailed, with Eti noting that meaningful stimuli can still break through this barrier. Finally, the use of Gabapentin is examined, outlining its limited efficacy for primary insomnia versus conditions like restless legs syndrome.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Partner of the podcast, AG1, is one sponsor that Matt relies upon for his foundational nutrition.

David Goodwin spent years working the graveyard shift at his local service station in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. The grungy work quickly took over his life (R).He took the job to support his university studies, but working overnight made study impossible and soon the work took over.From his brightly lit perch behind the anti-jump wires, David saw a collection of very strange people come through the auto-doors.There was the man dressed as a giant bee, a woman who offered to pay for her fuel with a half-eaten pizza, and a psychotic man covered in blood. There were self-appointed wizards and speed-addicted truckies, as well as football hooligans who loved singing. The unusual work changed David from a shy and naive teenager into someone with more street smarts, but it also thwarted his true ambitions for years. Further informationSERVO is published by Hachette. Content Warning: This episode of Conversations contains discussion of drug use.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.It explores gritty cities, grungy, writing, books, dreams, psychedelics, shrooms, mushrooms, travel, strange jobs, odd jobs, Melbourne's underbelly, memoir, origin story, finding yourself, young men, growing up, raising boys, forging your own path, shiftwork, student job.
