Sleeplessness
Hi,
I am software employee and recently I am started to working in night shifts (6:30 PM - 3:30 AM) and there is 2 weeks for night shifts and 4-5 weeks for day shift (1:30 PM - 10:30 PM).
Here, my query is "I am not able to sleep more than 5 hours when I complete the shift i.e. from 3:30 AM to 8:30 But, after that my sleep will lash out and I am vigoursly trying to sleep but can't.
Is it causing for night shift or it will continue.!?
I see a lot of advertisment in social media for pills to sleep like baby.
Is it safe to use.!? Or is this any kind of disorder.!?
Plz suggest me tips or medicine to avoid this issue.
Thanks in advance.
