A member asked:
I work shifts and struggle to stay awake and alert on shifts. is there something to aid with alertness during my shift perhaps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shift work: You may want to see a sleep specialist for help in regulating your sleep cycles. There is medication for shift work and narcolepsy which can help as well but you would want to have this come from a sleep expert or knowledgeable PCP.
