Title:
[QUOTE=Admin;318]A few rules help to survive shift work. "When I go on overnights, I don't drink coffee at the beginning of the shift," said Grubig. Caffeine remains in the bloodstream for four to seven hours. So, the effects of drinking it at 2 a.m. could still be felt at 7 a.m. and thus not be able to sleep. People who have difficulty getting to sleep after an overnight shift can put on sunglasses on the drive home. "Light wakes you up," said Fietze. People who work overnight should go to bed immediately and sleep as long as they can. For people who work the early shift, taking a nap after they get home from work can be sensible to settle down in the evening and fall asleep. Even if it's difficult, people who work shifts must make sure they get enough sleep. There are people who just can't come to terms with working various shifts. They have difficulty sleeping, problems with their stomach and intestines and circulation problems. "One can assume that 20 percent to 25 percent of the people who work different shifts have problems sleeping and about four percent must be taken off shift work," said Fietze. A doctor should be consulted when workers are unable to get over their fatigue and if they also have problems sleeping at the weekends.[/QUOTE]
