Great tips! Returning to nigh shift after being booted from days. I use a sleep mask, room darkening shades, sometimes an essential oil infuser and warm shower with lavender infused items (body wash and post shower body oil or cream). But my favorite tool is the "DO NOT DISTURB " option on my phone because people love to call at the worst times. I also take three bid deep breaths when I get in the bed. It's a hint to my body that it is time to wind down. Also little to or No tv before bed, definitely NO SOCIAL MEDIA and no food. Also the house needs to be cool
Great tips! Thanks for sharing.
Any tips for those of us who fall asleep instantly but then are wide awake in 2-3 hours and can't get back to sleep?
When you wake, slide on some blue light glasses to keep you brain in sleep mode, but then get up and so something mundane for 20 minutes or so. Then try again. If still nothing, think about your routine before bed. Are you exercising too close to sleeping? Drinking caffeine 6 hours before bed? Eating too big of a meal? Start making some adjustments in the routine prior to going to sleep.
Good luck!
I haven’t had to deal with shift work, and was always a great sleeper. But perimenopause has totally thrown off my ability to sleep. I will lay down and my mind will race and not shut off. I have tried everything. I’ve had to resort to using trazodone, but want to eventually take HRT, which I’m hoping will be the ultimate solution. Be warned that when your hormones change it might add a whole other layer of complexity to sleeping.
mmmm great point. I hope HRT will be the answer you're looking for. Thanks for watching.

Love your videos. I need background noise such as rain or really boring podcast. It doesn’t work all the time.
