A member asked:
Working irregular shifts. days/nights mixed up, sleep not restful. too restless for melatonin to work, too fatigued to stay awake to reset schedule?

Sleep hygiene: Best way to reset your clock is to start sleeping at regular hours. If switching shifts cannot be avoided, planning for expected changes in shift schedule like lighting adjustment and sleep hygiene with darkening the room, avoiding noise and blue light before sleep time will help.
