I've been working nights for almost 2 years now... however, it took a long time (about 4-6 months) to finally get used to it. I have black velvet curtains to block the sunlight and I also make sure that my room is slightly cooler so I have the fan on and ofcourse during summertime, AC better be running! I eat a small snack with a glass of warm milk, shower and read emails before I head to bed... Am usually asleep by 9:00am. 9:15 the latest. Sometimes, I wake up between 1-2pm but I just stay in bed then I am able to go back to sleep... wake up at 5:30. I try to schedule myself two nights on then two nights off. So, you may want to try: 1. Darken your room. 2. Room temp. is comfortable. 3. Light breakfast with warm milk 4. NO COFFEE after 4am. 5. Warm shower. 6. Maybe think positive thoughts! Night shift isn't for everyone...
