Hi guys and girls. Just wondering if anyone else works 3rd shift here? I work about 30 hours a week on average and have some struggles with my sleeping pattern. I normally sleep a few hours after getting off of work and then nap right before my shifts. Feel free to discuss what works best for your sleep and how you stay awake during the shifts themselves.

9.30pm to 07.30am for me - I listen to sleep hypno files online they help me to sleep sometimes - sometimes either I cant get to sleep or I cant wake up - if I do more than 2 nights in a row I sleep the next two days off -
I eat at night on my shift - so I effectively turn night to day and day to night - - depression is a prob for me so I sleep with the lights on - also helps with nightmares and re-orientating myself try to go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time - but doesn't always work

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
