does working overnight affect sleeping when you don't working it no more?

i've worked night shift since graduating from high school (except for the period of time when i was in the army), i don't have any trouble, it's become normal for me, just be sure to get plenty of rest, exercise and good nutrition, it can be difficult on your days off to sleep at night, you just have to adjust your timing, don't sleep too much on your first day off so you will be tired when it is time for sleep, you'll get the hang of it.

sleep DOES effect your daily life. you need at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night to be fully rested. a bad nights sleep, or no sleep, can put off your whole day. go long enough without sleep, and your brain will shut down and sleep, whenever it wants to.\n\ni go to sleep about 11pm and get up anywhere between 7am and 9am.

If you feel as if you are fully functional on that amount of sleep then there should be no issue. There are no health risks to adjusting when you sleep, it's the amount of hours you sleep.\n\nThere are people who work night shifts and stay up all night and sleep all day, and as long as they get their 7 to 9 hours of sleep they're fine. \n\nThere are also people who can operate just fine on 4-6 hours of sleep, just the same as we function on our 7-9.

In the short term (days), it throws off your cicadian rhythm, making restful sleep somewhat difficult (your body knows it's daytime and doesn't want to sleep).  But if you continue on that schedule for weeks, your body learns a new rhythm and you are once again able to obtain restful sleep.

It partly depends on what time you go to sleep. If you are already getting 8 hours of sleep a night then by all means wake up earlier and get some exercise. You will find after a short time you will have more energy thoughout the day and will probably be less tired at the end of your work day. Newer more comprehensive studies have shown that you shouldn't really get more than 7 1/2 hours of sleep anyways. 8 hours of sleep is excessive and can actually shorten your life. If you're only sleeping 6 to 7 hours a night then definately don't skip sleep to exercise you'll wear yourself out and possibly injur yourself after a while.

The body needs what the body needs. If you fell to sleep you obviously needed the rest. It may take you a day or two to get back on schedule but you will be fine.

How can you sleep during the day if you're working?  If you work swingshift or graveyard then, No! -most would sleep during the day.  Kinda looking for something to talk about? ;)*

You work nights and sleep in the day.

Only benefit is that there may be a job opening. Disadvantages are that your sleep patterns are disrupted. Study after study show that humans are meant to sleep at night and be up during the daylight hours. No amount of conditioning can change that. It leads to accidents and really weird personality disorders. However, if it is what you have to do...

if you're falling asleep at 5am and waking up at 6 or 7 then yes, it's insomnia.  I know because I have it. BUT if you're falling asleep at 5am and getting a normal amount of sleep then your sleep pattern is messed up.  You'll have to force yourself to get up around 8am and you'll fall asleep earlier that night.

If I didn't require sleep, I would rarely sleep at all.  I could work more hours, accomplish more things if I didn't have to sleep.  However, there is a time when life can get overwhelming and a good sleep to dream is a way to destress.  In that case, I would sleep occasionally for relaxing and dreaming.

The best advice I can give you is to talk to your doctor about the problems you are having in your sleep patterns. Not being able to sleep can be a sign of a more serious underlying problem, mental or physical. \n\nYour doctor will know best how to treat your problem. He / she may prescribe you some short-term sleep aid medications to get you back on track or send you for further testing / further treatment. \n\nLosing sleep is a serious problem so don't let it go untreated or unnoticed for too long. Your rest level effects your entire existence and your state of mind. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

I worked all night last night and slept at like 5am, and lo and behold, here I am at the crack of dawn after like 6-7 hours of sleep, while my boyfriend who did not work last night...could probably sleep until 2-3pm....if I let him..\n\nI would call it laziness, lack of motivation to do something in life, or depression (has been linked with oversleeping)

Dont take any medicines to keep you awake against your body's sleep needs . It is dangerous if becomes repititive, and I dont think you can justify any situation when work is more importnant than sleep or health. It is not a wise thing to do. You are also likely to make mistakes if you keep awake using drugs and do the work. If you are driving or operating heavy machines your mistakes may become hazardous.

I'm sorry to hear this, and think that management is quite inconsiderate for doing it in such a way.\n\nNo, I don't think anyone can go to sleep as soon as they get home--need time to unwind.  You'll probably wind up with little, if any, sleep.\n\nAgain, I'm sorry.

No -the person is still getting 7 hours of sleep.\n\nIt really doesn't matter what time of night - or day - you sleep, as long as you are getting at least 6 hours of sleep.\n\nThe only thing it might be bad for is your job if you're supposed to be there at 8 am.

If you don't sleep you'll become ill and you won't be able to learn.  There's a reason our bodies require sleep.  Don't try to get around it.  Get your rest, exercise, and learn!
