2-week night shift rotation makes it impossible to maintain a consistent sleep schedule and enjoy days off, causing severe fatigue and loss of motivation for exercise.

No software solution helps nurses optimize or adjust their shift rotation schedule to minimize circadian disruption; current hospital scheduling tools don't consider individual preferences for rotation length or recovery days.
