How can i fall asleep during the day if i work a night shift?

Some ideas: Sleep in room completely blacked out and quiet. Change your meal pattern so you eat dinner before you go to bed, not in the evening. Lower temp in room to around 65 degrees and avoid any sunlight, tv or blue light at least an hour before sleeping. Read in bed with night light.

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.
