The sooner you can prepare your body the better. I work the graveyard shift ( 1a.m - 9a.m) so I'm in bed by 1 or 2 p.m ( I know crazy -lol-). It's hard at first, but you get use to it. You need to block out as much sun light as you can from your room I have bed sheets covering my window), try to eliminate as much noise as possible, ear plugs work. It's still hard to sleep in the day sometimes I use otc sleeping pills to help me sleep. Good Luck.

It will be an adjustment. Some people can't work the night shift and sleep days,they have weight lose no sleep headaches etc.
Some doctors believe this is more so in women than men it upsets the hormones and disrupts all cycles
Try a few days to adjust and good luck.

I recently switched to 3rd shift. Ten years ago I worked on 3rd shift. It took me a few days to adjust, but I enjoy it. I think it can be bad for some people. I don't think it is harmful unless you don't devote enough time to sleep or if you don' eat right. It's kind of like being in the marines and having to deal with different sleep/wake times it keeps you on your toes. But you have to push yourself mentally and overcome the balance issues accociated with the switch. I used to be a shrimper on the golf of Mexico and I had to wake all hours of the night to work because shrimp go bad in the sun light, so I had to adjust to a few hours of sleep here and there.
Not a biggie !

not all napping pills are addictive and unsafe, yet exceptionally a lot all of those that would want to be prescribed have their justifiable share of negative uncomfortable aspect effects. those might want to commonly be reserved for individuals which have "tried each and every thing" and are suffering more desirable from lack of sleep than the flair uncomfortable aspect effects might want to convey. some have fulfillment with over the counter sleep drugs like Tylenol PM, regardless of the indisputable fact that the effects will be moderate and this received't be a good lengthy time period answer. in my view, brilliant for someone basically searching to get some solid sleep once a week at an abnormal time is to institute an exercising routine that takes position basically earlier for your searching to get some sleep. this may burn off countless your daylight hours ability and supply you a superb chance to relax. you may also use aromatherapy (lavender) and meditation to convey forth a restful state. It sounds like you're basically having hassle winding down, and also you actually do not choose doubtlessly negative uncomfortable aspect effects on your existence to get some sleep. solid success to you! some staying power and attempt pays dividends later.

Yes it will effect you. Your body operates in cycles each day. When you interrupt those cycles it stops working well. It will take a period of time for your body to learn how to cycle again. For a time your sleep cycle will be messed up. You won't get the rest you need until you get use to the new cycle. Either work nights or days, but don't switch back and forth. Its not good for your health, mental or physical.

If you are able to allow your body to adjust before you go to work would be great because your body will be off balance but if not eventually adjustment will take place and you will live through it all
