How to get good sleep?

Pajju
By Pajju

Have a set time to wake up (keep the same time even on weekends).

When you wake up, if possible, try to have exposure to bright sun light.

Avoid exercise after 5 PM and have a light dinner.

Avoid smoking from 2 hours before your bed time till next morning (Quitting smoking completely is best for your overall health).

Avoid caffeinated beverages, after 2 PM.

If you want to nap during the day, take a brief nap (20-30 minutes) between 12 & 3 PM only - never before or after that time.

For some people, relaxation exercises such as meditation / muscle relaxation prior to bedtime may help.

Avoid any stimulating activity (physically or mentally stimulating activity - by this I mean avoid any interesting show, working on computer / reading an interesting book etc.) and have the lights dim from 2 hours before bedtime.

Use your bedroom / bed only for sleep OR intimacy - nothing else - No Television / Radio / Work / Computer.

Sleep is intimately related to our mood and underlying medical illness and our other activities / sleep schedule. As you are working at night and with your shifts changing often, your sleep is disturbed to a greater extent.

Pajju , you plonker. How can you be intimate on the Computer ? You'll damage the keyboard ...

Actually no. Exercise after 5 pm. I find that when I exercise I have a great night's sleep.... Every time.
