Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

Hi, I am a new LPN. 8 months with my license, 6 months working, and 4 months on at nights.

IDK why sleep pattern hasn't changed nor schedule changed. I cannot stay awake anymore at nights. Was good all 3 months could live off of no sleep and have to force myself to sleep during the day time. I be bouncing off the walls of the unit with energy.

Now 12/1 in the morning I start the head bobbing and eyes feel heavy. It is hard to stay awake at night. Not sure what happen or why?

Anyone experience this? Was considering reaching out to my PCP about a med to help me stay awake during the night.

Anyone else have this happen?

Specializes in Med-Surg.

Chances are that you have become familiar with the routine. The honeymoon is ending.
