11 PM Begin Work Midnight–5 AM Simulate daytime with bright light Invest in a lighttherapy box It will help reset your body clock and keep you alert 3 AM If you're a coffee drinker, have your last cup Caffeine has an average halflife of four to six hours, so it could affect your ability to sleep later 3–4 AM Eat dinner "Day shift is a very busy shift and I would always try and relieve them of some of the work if possible" 7 Exercise or Get Active to Stay Alert Nurses who work the night shift tend to experience the most fatigue and drowsiness around 4 am and should avoid completing the most tedious or monotonous tasks during that timeI also work from 117 and i personally like it more than any other shift it's quite and your boss isnt around to watch over your shoulder what my routine usually looks like is that i sleep maybe 13 hours before work so that i don't have to rely too much on coffee during the night I'll either eat on my break or nap for 30mins in my car
