Night shifts
Working night shifts usually means that you are not only not getting enough sleep but also ‘jet lag’ type symptoms of irritability, fatigue and difficulty concentrating. Ensuring you have having 6-7 hours sleep each day is still essential. Finding a dark, quiet place where you will be undisturbed is essential.
What you can do
- 1. No coffee for 5-7 hours before sleep
- 2. No screen time for 1/2 hour before sleeping
- 3. Mindfulness meditation before sleep
- 4. Having a warm bath or winding down before sleep
- 5. Taking melatonin can help some people
