A member asked:

How can i sleep properly during the day when i work nightshift?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Daytime sleeping: From my days covering an emergency room nights and sleeping days, I required a quiet,dark room, avoiding caffeine or eating heavily before heading to bed. Nowadays you must shut off smart phones and close your laptops or tablets long before trying to fall asleep.
