HumanCharger Shift Work Protocol Instructions

HumanCharger Shift Work Protocol

Overview

• The HumanCharger Shift Work Protocol Instructions is a structured usage guide for the HumanCharger bright light headset, designed to help shift workers adjust their internal body clock (circadian rhythm) when working rotating, night, or irregular shifts.
• The device uses short sessions of UV-free bright light therapy delivered through the ears to help improve alertness, reduce fatigue, and support faster adaptation to changing work schedules.
• This protocol explains how and when to use the device during shift transitions for optimal sleep and performance adjustment.

Hvorfor det betyder noget

• Your body is designed to be awake during the day and asleep at night. Shift work disrupts this rhythm—leading to poor sleep, brain fog, low energy, and slower reaction time. This is called Social Jet Lag. The HumanCharger helps reset your internal clock so you can perform when it matters most.

Switching to Night Shift
Use HumanCharger 4–5 times per shift for the first 2 days.

• Before your shift (e.g., 7–8 PM)
• Every 2–3 hours during your shift
• Final session 60 minutes before driving home

Switching Back to Day Schedule
Reverse the process:

• Start early morning (e.g., 7–8 AM)
• Use 4–5 times per day, every 2–3 hours
• Continue for 2 days

Rotating Schedules

• Each time your schedule changes, repeat the protocol. Think of it like jet lag, without the travel.

Key Principle

• Light is the most powerful signal your brain uses to regulate when to be awake. The HumanCharger gives you a fast, controlled way to reset your rhythm.

Keep It Simple

• Each session lasts 12 minutes (auto shutoff).
• Consistency is key.
• Set reminders (alarms) in your phone.

If you are experiencing difficulties or not seeing desired results, consider the following:

• Are you following the protocol consistently? Missing sessions can reduce effectiveness.
• Are your session timings correct? Ensure you are using the device at the recommended intervals relative to your shift.
• Er enheden opladet? A low battery might affect performance.
• Miljøfaktorer: Ensure you are minimizing other light exposure that might interfere with the HumanCharger’s effect, especially during your designated sleep times.
