Sleep cycle

2025-03-24 05:29:00
You can say something like this: Hi Doc, I’ve been struggling with my sleep cycle for a while. I work night shifts and usually sleep around 4 AM, waking up at noon. However, I feel extremely sleepy around midnight while working or studying, but when I try to sleep, I can’t fall asleep easily. Also, caffeine doesn’t help; instead, it makes me more drowsy. Could you suggest ways to improve my sleep quality and energy levels?

**Specialist Doctor’s Response:**  **Re: Sleep Cycle Disruption Due to Night Shifts**  Dear Patient,  Your sleep struggles are common among night-shift workers, but they can be managed with a structured approach. Here’s a breakdown of your concerns and solutions:  ### **Key Issues & Recommendations:**  1. **Circadian Rhythm Misalignment**:     - Your body’s internal clock is conflicted due to nighttime activity.     - **Fix**: Gradually adjust your sleep schedule by 15–30 minutes daily until you reach your target sleep time (4 AM).  2. **Daytime Sleepiness at Work**:     - **Short naps (20–30 mins)** before your shift can boost alertness.     - **Bright light therapy** (use a lightbox during your shift) helps reset your rhythm.  3. **Caffeine Paradox (Drowsiness Instead of Alertness)**:     - Overuse or timing issues can disrupt sleep further.     - **Fix**: Limit caffeine to the **first half of your shift** (none in the last 4–6 hours before bedtime).  4. **Sleep Hygiene for Night Workers**:     - **Dark, cool room**: Use blackout curtains and white noise.     - **Pre-sleep routine**: Avoid screens 1 hour before bed; try relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation).  5. **When to Seek Help**:     - If fatigue persists, rule out **sleep disorders** (e.g., insomnia, sleep apnea) with a specialist.  ### **Next Steps:**  For a **personalized plan** (including melatonin supplements if needed), **consult me**. Contact me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two** to discuss further.
