My current job has a schedule of 2x morning, 2x evening, 1 off, 2 nights and then 3 days off. After the night shifts, I sleep very poorly, usually only 4 hours. I take another 3 hour nap in the evening before the next night shift. After talking to my colleagues this is very common. Are there any tips or supplements to help combat this?
My room is already dark (roller shutters on the outside curtains inside) and quiet. I have breakfast before going to bed, tried big and small breakfasts but doesn't seem to matter. I take melatonin, quick (0,1mg sublingual) and slow release (2x 0,29mg), as well as magnesium bisglycinate (200mg magnesium). The job is not stressful, especially near the end of the night shift where it's mostly just sitting and reading a book or scrolling reddit like now. I do drink some coffee around 3 o clock, I've noticed I otherwise with a headache from caffeine withdrawal.
