Adjusting to night shift--HELP!!

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I'm a new nurse, and I've accepted a night shift position--11pm to 7am. I didn't get more that 3 hours of sleep at a time during my first week (last week.) I'm back at it again tonight.

Does anyone have advice about how to manage sleeping? I'm looking for tips, advice, drugs : ) --please HELP!!

I worked night shift for 2 years. I loved the shift and was able to sleep, but I never felt good. Guess I just wasn't cut out for it.
