SWSD (Shift work sleep Disorder) Question
Question:
Hello, I’m 22. I was delivering papers and Dj’ing late in the night for nearly 6 months. I’m now trying to get my circadian rythms back into a normal day-time cycle for my new job and for college classes. In other words.. I now sleep all day.. and am awake all night. This isn’t insomnia by any means.. I sleep hard and well during they day, but it’s costing me job performance and productivity in my life. Does anyone else experience this? Can anyone suggest ways to correct it? I understand it isn’t fixable overnight since my body has adapted to the lifestyle I was living, but i’d like to get a start on making my life change from night owl.. to early bird. Thank you for your time and help. Kind Regards, Backa**wards in S. Cali
Response:
light therapy can help with this of course you will have to get UP at a reasonable hour to expose yourself to the lights in order for the circadian rhythm to kick back to normal so……. stay up all night and then start the light therapy…. and stay up all day and go to bed at the time that you want to go to sleep…… means for one tiring day, and a while using the light therapy to get up with…… but it will pay off in dividends for you kate <coolkid…@hotmail.com> wrote in message
