S63E4: Sleep deprivation and shift work

S63E4: Sleep deprivation and shift work

Author: Rachel Wheeley April 23, 2026 Duration: 11:20
Walking my local streets amongst the lavender, discussing sleep deprivation and shift work. Whilst shifting your day around can enable an early or a late start, it is seriously incompatible with a young family. Your thoughts on sleep? Go to walkthepod.com.

Rachel Wheeley hosts Walk the Pod: 10 minute walking, a daily companion built around the simple, transformative act of putting one foot in front of the other. This isn't just about physical steps; it's a practice woven into the rhythm of your day, designed to pull you away from the screen and into the air, even if just for a short while. Each episode is a gentle nudge to step outside, pairing practical, thoughtful tips on how to walk with a sense of reflection that makes those ten minutes truly your own. The podcast grows from a dedicated community of people who find that this brief daily pause does more than just get the blood moving-it clears the head and recenters the day's priorities. You'll hear ideas for noticing your surroundings, adjusting your pace, and connecting the physical motion with your mental landscape. The aim is consistency, offering a reliable slice of time where the only goal is to move and breathe, providing a foundation no matter what else is happening in life. Tune in for a straightforward, supportive guide that turns a simple walk into a small, sustaining ritual. New episodes arrive every day, ready whenever you are to take that short, vital break.
