So i switched rotations today....for the past two weeks i've been getting up at like 6am and working on the internal medicine service.....BUT, now i switch to the Peds Er and my first shift is tonight at 11pm (until 8am). Of course my sleep schedule is all thrown off.....i woke up at 930am and now i cant get back to sleep. I'm going to be dead tonight

Re: NWR - Sleep schedule is all thrown off
try to take a nap later tonight!!
i work nights mostly but sometimes have to do an early morning shift here and there
do a lottttt of stuff while youre up, dont just lounge on the couch...this way youll be tired around 8/9pm to nap for an hour!

That is a really rough schedule. Definitely don't lay around all day. Try to tire yourself out. Hopefully tomorrow you can go to bed as soon as you get home because I am sure you will be exhausted.
