Marcus Chen — writes the shift-work and travel pages at naphelp — napping around night shifts, written from experience and kept honest.

Illustrated portrait of Marcus Chen
Writes the shift-work and travel pages

Marcus spent six years on rotating hospital IT shifts, which is to say six years field-testing every nap strategy this site covers, usually in a break room chair.

Writes About
  • Napping around night shifts
  • Jet lag and split sleep
  • Caffeine timing that actually works

He writes the pages for people whose schedules were never in the studies' control groups — night workers, new parents, long-haul travelers.

“Most sleep advice assumes you sleep at night. The rest of us need the footnotes turned into a plan.”
