What You Log

The inputs that actually matter
for shift readiness

💤

Sleep (Last 24h)

Hours slept and optional quality rating. The single biggest factor in your readiness.

🌙

Sleep (24-48h)

Sleep debt compounds. Yesterday's rest matters as much as last night's.

Shift Times

Start and end time. Night shifts hit different than days. The score accounts for it.

📊

Expected Workload

Quiet, Normal, or Heavy. Big game night with short staffing? That changes everything.

Caffeine Intake

None to Heavy. It helps and hurts. The tips adjust based on what you've already had.

🚗

Commute Length

Minutes one-way. A 45-minute drive after a 12-hour night shift is its own risk.

Practical Tips

Suggestions that respect your time
and your job

Before Shift
  • Take a 20-minute power nap if you slept under 6 hours
  • Eat something substantial but not heavy
  • Front-load caffeine 30 min before start
  • Prep your gear the night before to save morning bandwidth
During Shift
  • Move every 2 hours, even a 5-minute walk
  • Spread caffeine out instead of one huge dose
  • Cold water on wrists and face during low points
  • Pair up for high-risk calls when running low
After Shift
  • Protect your first 4-hour sleep block above all else
  • Blackout curtains and phone on silent
  • Skip the post-shift beer, it wrecks sleep quality
  • Same wind-down routine every time, train your brain
Who It's For

Built for people who can't afford
to be off their game

🚨

Patrol Officers

Rotating schedules, mandatory overtime, court days after night shifts. You know the drill. ShiftReady tracks what your department doesn't.

🚑

Medics & EMTs

24-hour shifts, back-to-back calls, adrenaline crashes. One bad decision from fatigue can change everything. Stay aware.

🏥

ER Nurses

12-hour shifts with no guaranteed breaks. Three nights in a row and you're running on fumes. See it in the numbers before you feel it.
