how do you sleep?

Published

ok i am in the middle of my 3 nights off and have been awake since before 4am, thats when i gave up and got up, although i am now going to try and sleep again. night shifts definitelty screw my sleep cycle up, and just want to go to bed at bedtime and wake not too late in the morning otherwise i feel like i am wasting my days off. how do you cope?

I worked regular nights for over 7 years and I used to sleep horrible the first day and then get into a routine but would still have the odd horrible days sleep. On my last night would sleep the following day away and then enjoy my week off
