How many nights in a row is ideal for you?

After 850 votes collated from Reddit, LinkedIn, and ACEP Engage, here’s where the responses landed:

1 night — (117) 14%
2 nights — (225) 26%
3 nights — (321) 38%
4+ nights — (187) 22%

Interestingly, that lines up fairly closely with the CAI framework and current literature, which consider the 4th consecutive night the point where physiologic burden begins to increase.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote and add comments. The discussion around why people prefer different sequences has been especially interesting.

\*43% — frequent shift-time transitions\*
\*39% — long stretches (>5 in a row)\*
\*18% — backward rotation\*

\*This is the same ordering our circadian fatigue model uses. The evidence base has long pointed to shift instability and consecutive burden as the top drivers. The poll just confirms what the literature already says.\*

\*The interesting outlier is backward rotation: physicians under-report it, but sleep-medicine studies show it degrades alertness the most. That's why our CAI still weights it heavily.\*
