Hey awesome nurses! I'm still a student and this is not an issue for me YET but I'm curious about how people make it through night shift if they can't have caffeine...I have a mitral valve prolapse that goes CRAZY spastic whenever I consume caffeine (and really any kind of stimulant) and the fluttering in my chest and light headedness is just not worth the extra dose of "energy" that caffeine can provide. I know that staying well hydrated helps people stay sharp when they're tired and eating (not junk) every little while can be helpful...My body is SO committed to my circadian rhythm, like at 10pm my eye lids start getting heavy and it's futile to try to hang on and stay awake and then by 7am (sometimes 8 on weekends when I "sleep in" haha) I am WIDE awake. I am so scared that as a new grad the only positions available to me will be nights and I will be so drowsy that I make significant mistakes (or less seriously, that I won't provide the best most sincere pt care that I can). So, any suggestions for alternatives to caffeine? Thanks so much, you guys are awesome.
