Plan my week around my shifts.

My rota this week: [e.g. Mon–Wed 7pm–7am, off Thu–Sun]
Commute: [time]
Family: [who's at home and their routine]
Jobs to fit in: [e.g. food shop, kids' club, appointments]
How I sleep after nights: [e.g. 4 hours then awake]

Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A day-by-day plan with sleep windows that suit my shifts.
2. Simple meal timing and food to prep ahead.
3. When to do jobs and appointments.
4. Family time that works with everyone.
5. How to switch back after nights.
