Any advise on how to sleep better when you work 3rd shift?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be arranged: Working 3rd shift is not easy for many, but arranging your life and sleep cycle around it is possible. You'll need to develop similar sleep rituals as if sleeping at night, but in the daytime. Establish a continuous 7-8 hours' sleep daily -- make your room dark ; quiet so you can achieve this. Maintain this on weekends also. Avoid caffeine ; sleep aids. http://tinyurl.com/36e84l.
