Sleepiness

Philippines
August 6, 2017 10:44am CST
I've been working with graveyard shift for almost 2 years and yet still can't cope with it!Sleepiness was still a struggle for me.Even I pinch myself and took a cup of coffee in the middle of the night, and yet I can't manage to be awake all through the night, any suggestion or tips how to fight away sleepiness?

I'm sorry to know about that. I think you should sleep in day time to cope with that

I do night shifts too so what I usually do to be able to function well is to sleep the whole morning then I l'm awake the whole night then get naps in between. It would be hard to not be sleepy because our body knows that during that time, we should be sleeping.

@Cathy0628 Ah the struggles of a mother, but make sure you give time for yourself or else your health could suffer and we don't want that.
