The Shift From Service: Rebuilding Your Body Clock and Career After Military Shift Work — Veteran Transition Guide (PDF Ebook)

Leaving service doesn't just change your job. It changes your body clock — and almost nothing written for veterans addresses that directly.

The Shift From Service applies over two decades of research and lived experience in shift-based work to the specific transition of leaving military shift and watch patterns and landing in civilian shift-based roles — driving, security, emergency services, logistics, and warehousing.

What's inside:

• Part One — Understanding the Shift You're Carrying: the physiology of circadian scarring, sleep debt, and hyperarousal after service
• Part Two — Physical Health After Service: deconditioning, chronic pain, and shift-work nutrition
• Part Three — Choosing and Adapting to Civilian Shift Work: matching your service-built discipline to civilian roles, and rebuilding a sleep routine on civilian terms
• Part Four — The Mental Load: vigilance, the PTSD/TBI/chronic pain overlap, peer support, and when to seek professional help — including current UK and US research on risk and where to get support
• Part Five — Family, Reintegration, and the Long Game: rebuilding family life around a new rhythm, and building a career that lasts
• A First 90 Days action-plan checklist, a glossary of terms, and a UK/US/international support resources appendix

48 pages. Written from experience, not theory — by a professional driver and former shift worker, not a clinician. This book points you toward the right people to see; it doesn't replace them.
