Dealing witrh Night-Shifts



Watch out. : Why night-shifts so frightening:-

Deeply affect sleeping pattern, body activity and eating habits.

Physical problems like back pain, obesity, diabetes and gastric problems arise.

Ones mental momentum is affected anxiety; insomnia, fatigue and depression are other common effect.

Secretion of essential hormones also gets affected by the change in the work and sleep hours.

How to cope: Simple rules

Lots of vegetable and fruits, water and other liquids can do wonders to a tired and sleep deprived body.

Don’t eat from road side eateries outside your office at night.

Carry some fruits and a bottle of juice instead, to keep you on your toes and tide over those hunger pangs.

Understand what your peak hours of work productivity are. Most individuals are most sleepy between 3 am and 6 am ensure that you finish your crucial work before that or after that and try keeping yourself pepped up in those hours.

Small power conversation with colleagues to keep the sleep bug at bay.

Do not sit down at a place in order to keep working with the illusion that continuous work brings about greater productivity, get up take a walk, do some activity that will lead to change of position and posture. 

After a long night work do not presume that you could sleep towards the evening for about five hours or so and that you could also interact with family and friends in the time you have.

Ensure that you sleep at the earliest for about five hours and make time for other activities and get back to sleep after a couple of hours.

Do not indulge in sleepathon session during weekends.  Sleep after work for eight to ten hours straight and then head outside.  It is important to stay connected with the world and its happening.

Update yourself on current affairs and the week news. Catch up with the friends those are not your colleagues and spend quality time with family. 

Remember it’s just a job.  There is much more to life end hence you need to keep in touch with everyone and keep track of everything that is happening.
