Shift Fatigue Is Real—But So Is Tactical Energy

Today’s shifts can feel like someone put the scanner in turbo mode and forgot to tell you. Fight fatigue with tactical energy habits: water before coffee, high-protein snacks every 3–4 hours, and 1–2 minutes of movement between patients (shoulder rolls count as exercise—tell anyone who disagrees to lift a fluoroscopy tower). If you’re on nights, protect your sleep like it’s a brand-new DR panel: dark room, cool temp, and zero scrolling. Fatigue may show up, but with smart habits, burnout doesn’t get an invite.
