Imagine a world where hospitals closed at 5 p.m., where trains and buses stopped at the end of the day, and where emergency service calls were directed to voicemail with the setting of the sun.

Despite our reliance on these services, there is very little help and support available to those who deliver them—until now.

In this compelling book, Audra Starkey educates her readers on how to mitigate some of the adverse health eff ects of being awake when everyone else is winding down their day or sleeping.

Learn how to:
•implement relaxation techniques at the end of a shift instead of relying on medications to fall asleep;
•lose weight and minimise weight fluctuations by focusing not only on what to eat, but also when;
•reduce some of the debilitating effects of stress, anxiety and depression which can lead to burnout; and
•navigate disruptions to your personal and social life.

The fact is the world needs people to work 24/7, but if you’re one of them—you need to stay healthy too. Arm yourself with valuable information to nurture your mind, body, and spirit with the lessons and strategies in Too Tired to Cook.

A must read for all shift-workers in this world

Reviewed in Australia on 1 September 2019

Verified Purchase

A book written by a shift worker to a shift worker. Someone who really does ‘get it’ and understand the struggles of shift workers out there because she has been there herself. I loved the fact that Audra used some real life examples throughout her book of how she struggled too. I’m sure it makes people reading this feel better knowing it’s not just them and they’re not going completely crazy ... I’m not a shift worker myself anymore (used to be a while back) but needless to say I was gripped all the way through, an easy to read informative book with action steps at the end of each chapter, simple yet not overwhelming. This is an absolute must read book for every single shift worker out there. It will change your life and others around you. My phone is already out of the bedroom .. and it was much easier than I ever thought it would be. Here’s to better sleep 😴

Shift working strategies written by......a shift worker

Reviewed in Australia on 9 November 2019

This is a book written by a shift worker for shift workers.

Shift work is demonized by all the "experts" for the impact that it has on our systems and rightly so, It's brutal, but with over 1.5 million shift workers in Australia alone, someone has to be there for those "in need" on a 24/7 basis.
This is the book that doesn't demonize shift work but guides shift workers on how to best stay as healthy as possible through shift work.
It's a book that ALL companies Health and Wellbeing departments that run a 24/7 operation should be recommending to their shift workers....insisting they read. .

I highly recommend that ALL shift workers get hold of a copy of this book.
It's such an easy, light hearted and humorous read with many "nod in agreement" moments you will definitely relate to.

I guarantee that there are strategies in this book that you will take away personally that will benefit you greatly. .

Well done Audra

A must read for Shiftworkers

Reviewed in Australia on 26 September 2019

I have been a shiftworker for over 30 years and to finally have Audra Starkey, who was a shift worker herself, write this book that shows that she fully understands and truly cares for the health of shiftworkers, is both a relief and a godsend. Audra covers the main struggles we may all encounter in shiftwork, regardless of the actual job or occupation and offers practical solutions to guide us to better health. The information that details what happens to our bodies and bodily processes, as we are impacted by shiftwork is invaluable in helping to make better decisions towards better health. I highly recommend "Too Tired To Cook" for any shiftworker.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Reviewed in Australia on 17 October 2019

I highly recommend this book! It's such an easy read and is extremely relatable to shift workers. It's hard to find someone that really understands what shift workers go through and understands what's the most important factors we need the most. This is the first-ever book that I've come across that's specifically for shift workers and is written by one with experience. Audra wrote this book in a way that makes it easy for you to understand the science side without making you feel overwhelmed. I feel like this is the kind of book you can open and read a chapter at any time and can finish it within a week even after taking your time with it. Thank you for creating such an amazing piece of work Audra!

Essential for Shiftworkers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is an absolute must have for shiftworkers. Most of the info out there about being healthy relates to a 9-5 type situation with the advice difficult to apply to shiftworking.
It smashes through that and gives clear information and advice in an easy to understand way. No jargon here! The book debunks a few myths and even has recipes that will be useful for the dreaded nightshift.
It’s clear to me now that this book is well overdue and Audra deals with the unique issues of shiftwork with personal experience. This is the kind of book you go back to over and over again and I am highly recommending it to all my 24/7 buddies.

Making shift work more survivable!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2019

It felt a bit odd to hold a book in my hand written by a long time Facebook friend, on the other side of the world. I've been witness to her journey from airline shift worker to health guru. The book is well written, and has lots of tips to offer the shift worker. I could have used these more when I was a chef for 25 years! I like the reminders at the end of each chapter, and the final checklist, very helpful in summing everything up. I've scanned the recipes and they look both healthy and tasty and not that hard to throw together. I've got 2 or 3 people in mind that would benefit from this book. A book you can keep coming back to and applying to your life. I get the impression this is just one of many books we'll see from this amazing lady. Definitely worth a read.

I challenge any shift worker not to find some benefit from reading this book. It is full of information to show you're not going mad and there are reasons shift workers feel the way they do. There are actions and advice for you to follow to help you sleep, eat and live better while living 24/7. This is a must for all shift workers and their families.

Essential reading for anyone working night shift

Reviewed in Canada on 18 August 2019

Verified Purchase

this book is amazing for many reasons.
It doesn’t demonize working night shift. It doesn’t ignore the risk factors either - but it gives real world solutions to managing night shift and staying healthy.
It’s written by someone who has actually worked night shift for a long period of time then took that experience and perused a career focused on the how to do it better.

I wish all companies employing night shift workers had to read this book.

I've worked shiftwork for years and I wish I had this book at the start of my career. There is so much good, science-backed information on how to approach shiftwork in a wholistic, healthy manner. I've recommended it to my co-workers!
