How to get and set ylabel position in normalized units?

I would like to shift (increase the gap) for ylabel. The standatd method is the following: ylabh = get(gca,'ylabel'); set(ylabh,'position',get(ylabh,'position') - [shift 0 0]);

But how to get and set this in normalized coordinates? I cannot figure out.

You can set the units to normalized first:

...  
  set(ylabh,'Units','normalized');
  set(ylabh,'position',get(ylabh,'position') - [shift 0 0]);

the solution you proposed gives a error (below)
