See below: If you go to sleep late ; wake up early as part of your work routine, it can be the cause. Best is to regularize your wake ; sleep times to fit your work schedule allowing for not 6 but 7.5 to 8 hours a night, including the weekends. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, bright lights, ; electronics near bed time. A new job can be a stressor too. If you continue to have issues see a sleep dr.
