This is just a list of a few simple suggestions on how you can try to minimize the SWSD effects:
- reduce the number of night shifts if possible,
- minimize overtimes, long extended shifts as well as rotating shifts
- Reduce the time that you spent on travel, as it is taking time from sleeping
- Get a good sleep when you have a day off, and make it your priority
- Avoid alcohol together with nicotine and caffeine.
There is a medicine that can reduce the symptoms of SWSD, called Provigil, make sure you talk to your doctor about its potential benefits and risks.
