Shift work is one of the hardest sleep contexts. The body's circadian rhythm is anchored to sunlight, and forcing daytime sleep is biologically uphill. These strategies make the climb shorter.
Even on days off, keep a 4–6 hour 'anchor' block at the same time each day. This prevents full circadian drift and makes returning to night shifts easier.
Wear blue-blocking glasses on the drive home after a night shift. Blackout curtains, white noise, and a cool room are non-negotiable for daytime sleep.
