So, if you need to sleep, invest in ear plugs.ħ. Most of us use noise (alarms) to wake up. Avoid artificial light – constantly checking your phone or iPad because you can’t sleep will make it worse.Ħ. Wear dark glasses home, and invest in cut-out curtains or an eye mask. We don’t need any more post-nightshift road trauma (ask your seniors and they will all know of past incidents, one more is one too many).ĥ. If you suddenly realise you are too tired to drive home, DON’T. (Sharing means your whole night team runs smoother & happier too!) Between nightshiftsĤ. bring a big plunger and invest in decent Peruvian coffee to have on arrival during handover, and at the halfway mark of the shift. Just like with day shift, caffeinating during the second half of your shift reduces your chance of sleeping when you get home. It’s hard to be high functioning when you are symptomatically dehydrated. Drinking enough water is my absolute number one piece of advice. Drink water and eat food (bring real food, not just junk, and a big water bottle that you can reach for when you are writing notes).
