Standard wellness advice assumes 9-5 schedules. Here's how to adapt RiseWell.
Setting Your Schedule
1. Profile > Preferences > Schedule
2. Choose "Non-traditional" or enter custom hours
3. Select your typical wake/sleep times
4. Reminders and suggestions adjust
Sleep-Focused Approach
When your sleep is irregular:
- Sleep meditations whenever you sleep
- Wake-up content when you wake
- Don't worry about "normal" timing
Meal Timing
Eating on a different schedule:
- Log meals when you eat them
- Nutrition guidance still applies
- Hydration matters regardless of time
Movement Flexibility
Exercise when you can:
- Before or after your shift
- On days off
- Short sessions during breaks
- Don't force a timing that doesn't fit
Rotating Schedules
If your schedule changes:
- Update preferences when shifts change
- Use different plans for different schedules
- Allow adjustment period
Self-Compassion
Irregular schedules are hard:
- Sleep is often compromised
- Energy fluctuates
- Traditional advice doesn't fit
- Do what you can, when you can
