Ways to help sleep during the
day
• Wear dark glasses to block out the sunlight on your way
home.
• Keep to the same bedtime and wake time schedule,
even on weekends.
• Eliminate noise and light from your sleep environment
(use eye masks and ear plugs).
• White noise for some works
• Avoid caffeinated beverages and foods close to
bedtime.
• Avoid alcohol; although it may seem to improve sleep
initially, tolerance develops quickly and it will soon
disturb sleep.
• Experiment - you will find what works for you both for
staying awake at night and sleeping during the day
Overall good sleep habits
(whether you work nights or
not!)
• Bedroom should be cool and dark
• Same bed time and wake time 7
days a week
• Limit caffeine intake esp. in later
afternoon
• Limit ETOH consumption
• Regular exercise
• Regular meals and do not go to
bed hungry
Overall good sleep habits
(whether you work nights or
not!)
• Avoid smoking
• Do not take problems to bed
• Sleep only as much as you need to feel
rested.
• Avoid naps (unless you need a nap before
going to work at night!)
• Don’t try to fall asleep in bed, only go to bed
when you are tired
• Use your bed only for sleep and sex
