NightAnchor

Your roster in. A science-backed plan out - every rotation, even days off. NightAnchor is a sleep and circadian planner built for rotating-shift healthcare workers - nurses, EMTs, and anyone whose schedule flips between nights and days. THE PROBLEM Research shows most night-shift workers flip back to a daytime rhythm on their days off, and then pay for it on the very next rotation (Frontiers in Neurology, 2014). The hardest part isn't the night shift itself. It's the days off in between. WHAT NIGHTANCHOR DOES Add your roster - snap a photo, paste it from email or your scheduling app, or tap it in - and NightAnchor reads it and builds a day-by-day plan. It knows when to HOLD your night clock and when to help you FLIP BACK to daytime, so every rotation costs you less sleep. Each day's plan is a simple timeline: - Anchor sleep: when to sleep, and for how long, to protect your clock - Light: glasses on and lights low when it matters, soft daylight when it's safe - Caffeine cutoff: timed to your planned sleep, not the clock on the wall - Optional melatonin reminders: only on the days they're in your plan Every cue cites its source (NIOSH, UPenn CBT-I, Frontiers) so you know why. WELL-TIMED NUDGES, NEVER NOISE A few gentle notifications land exactly when a cue matters - glasses on before sunrise, wind-down before anchor sleep - and hold quiet while you sleep. About three a day. You're always in control. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your roster stays on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no sign-up. NightAnchor works fully offline - even reading a photo of your schedule happens on your phone. BUILT FOR REAL ROTATIONS Whether you run 3x12s, fixed nights, or a mixed schedule, NightAnchor plans around your actual shifts, including the days-off whiplash most sleep apps ignore. Educational guidance - not medical advice. NightAnchor helps you plan your sleep and light around your schedule. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Ask your clinician what's right for you.
