So tired all the time i work 3rd shift and its hard to sleep?

Shift work: Sleep during the day is more difficult. You need to black out your windows, wear dark glasses on the drive home. Quiet room. Also light therapy might help, as might modafinil.

Pattern: Quiet bedroom-turn off tv, radio & phone; consider ear plugs; keep temperature cool but comfortable, exercise regularly (not for 3 hours prior to bed). Keep dark! avoid alcohol, caffeine, large meals or excess fluids before bed. Wear dark sunglasses if driving home in the am and avoid light prior to bed. Melatonin 3 mg prior to bed may help sleep. If not effective see your doctor for sleep aid.

My daughter's been sleeping well, getting to bed at a good time, without snoring or waking up in the middle of the night. However, she has such a hard time getting up, that it's caused her to miss school and be tired the whole day. Why could that be?
