Ways To Get Quality Sleep When Working Night Shifts

So basically there ain’t shit you can do 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I work permanent night shifts, I permanently stay in night mode even on my days off, peoples afternoon is my morning. I arrange all appointments for the afternoon and sleep through the day. I've got a black out eye mask to cover my face to sleep.

Since I started working nights, I’ve been stuck at sleeping only for 4hrs. Almost 5 sometimes.

What was the app you spoke about and what brand blue block glasses please

this is why there needs to
be four 6 hour shifts.
0600-1200
1200-1800
1800-0000
0000-0600

I mean I’ve been working nights for 8 months and I sleep 8-10 hours a day and feel great

Night shifts are stupid. Humans are diurnal animals not nocturnal.

Blue-light blocking glasses have been surprisingly more helpful than I expected!

Start Thursday hahaha

Working a 12 hour night shift in the ICU as I watch this. I pass out right after i hit the bed. My problem is sleeping at night when I’m off.

I work 6pm-4am . Double blackout curtains. Hot shower after work.

My entire house is dark my husband hates it. I'm only able to sleep 4hrs then up a few hours and sleep maybe 3 hours afterwards.

Dead cops

Been working nights for 5+ years now, & it's always difficult. Everyone I work with has problems. Just try a lot of things, figure out what works for you, and be disciplined about consistency.

3 months in still tryna figure it out 😂

I love night shifts waiting for hijackers 💪🏼

I've been working nights for 6 years now and I finally got my body used to it, it sucks but what would be a good amount of hours to sleep. Mind you I work 10pm to 7am I have a wife and 3 kids so I get home my oldest is out at collage my 2nd stays with my mom my youngest I get her up take her to school I'm back at 8am my wife is either at work or at home. We work out at noon if possible

Just got a job with a 5 am 10 hour shift bruh... It ain't easy going from never working 10 hours to doing it every day lol

Nights shifts are bullshit. I had an offer which sounded fucking great, getting paid more for working nights. Nope, they can knowingly and willingly shove that offer up their ass.

I do live in the desert! 🤦‍♀️ These are great tips guys!
Sleep Brain FM?
I've never heard that shift work is considered a carcinogens? Is that what you guys said?? It causes heart disease?? This is scary stuff!!
I'm so freaking glad I clicked on this video.

6pm to 6am. 99% eye mask ac and earplugs. 1% dedicate yourself to the night shift. breakfast when you wake up a beer after work. close your eyes when drinking the beer.

My life is fucked up before of night shift

I've worked for a 7 day newspaper operation for over 30yrs...There is nothing to rectify the situation after that many years...When you're up during the day you always, ALWAYS feel like a vampire on a day pass...No 2 ways about it...Seriously, I've tried all these things and after it boils down to a huge sleep disorder and I still must sleep during the day and am always awake naturally at night, no matter what...

I’m already my first week into my now OTR box truck driver job. It’s from 11:15pm-10:30pm and I’m still trying to figure out how or when to sleep.

That’s wild. I’ve been on nights for years. Someone said it was detrimental to health.

But none of us had or have any problems. Maybe it depends on adaptability.

Now imagine trying to powerlift on a schedule like this story of my life

My night shift kinda easier I work 7 pm to 3 am

I just lay there in bed until I fall asleep. Sometimes it's 30 minutes, sometimes it's 4 hours. Never pick up the phone and if you need to masturbate lol.

Blackout curtains
White noise / rain sounds
A hot shower or bath to relax
Melatonin
Spend the money on a good mattress
Go to bed at the same exact time everyday

This is all good information except for the part about the sun on your skin. Andrew Huberman talks about that in his podcast. There’s no literature which shows that the sun hitting your skin has any influence on your circadian rhythm. The initial studies that were done on that were later disproven.

I can’t do this bull crap anymore 2 weeks in This is completely unnatural no amount of money is worth doing this shit to my brain

Night shifts are way better imo, for one, there is much less people around, and I'm lucky to get 4 hours sleep when I'm working day time anyway. And did I mention the lack of people?.. hmmmm peaceful

Working rotating shift 2early 2 late and 2 night then 1 day and a half off for 2 years already and i got to admit the pay is incredible but it killed my social life hard and now i start to get trouble sleeping/concentration and so easily irritated. Really is brutal dunno how some can handle it for 10+years

Thanks for this video

Been on day 7-7 but about to go to night 7-7. This sucks.

Starting a 9P-5A shift with going to the gym from 9A-10A let the grind begin

You say it's terrible I say it's AMAZING 😂😂

Bro I'm on 11 to 7 am

I work 7pm to 7am

Smoke weed

What about prescribed melatonin pills?

On a night shift I am lucky to have 5-6 hours of sleep.

Watching this seven hours before my first ever night shift 😭😭😭
