I worked night shift for a year then requested day shift as I found I couldn't sleep during the day. Four months later I was begging for nights again. Come to the conclusion that I am not a morning person. However, I find that I can't sleep between shifts, I'm lucky if I can grab 3 hours a day. My house just seems eerily quiet for day time, but my biggest problem is friends and family that think just because I work nights means I don't need as much sleep. I've tried everything but I am constantly sleep deprived in work, so much that when I get a night off I sleep 24 hours and have no problem with sleeping that day. My GP prescribed Mirtazipine but it made me drowsy getting out of bed, defeating the purpose. I've just came to the conclusion that I won't get a proper sleep between shifts and am accepting the fact il have to live with a permanent headache.
