Circadian Biology for Executive Travel and 24/7 Operations
Modern executive life — global travel, 24/7 operations, late earnings calls — runs in direct conflict with circadian biology. Dr. Robbins lays out the science of the body clock and the practical playbook for working with it rather than against it.
Key takeaways
- 01Circadian biology 101: the master clock and the peripheral clocks
- 02Light, food, and movement as the three primary circadian inputs
- 03The pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight protocol that actually works
- 04Why 'just power through' is the worst long-term strategy
- 05How shift work and 24/7 operations should be designed for human biology
- 06What organizations should standardize across travel-heavy roles
Sample agenda
- 0–10 min — Modern life vs circadian biology
- 10–30 min — The master clock and the peripheral clocks
- 30–55 min — Light, food, movement
- 55–75 min — The travel protocol
- 75–80 min — Q&A
