Shift workers can enhance their performance with the correct use of Sleeping Pills UK
by Lewis Carroll specialist in the field of sleep disturbancesShift work sleep disorder occurs when people experience
difficulty in adjusting their sleep routine with their work schedule. It
impacts the ability of a person to sleep peacefully on a regular basis. Hectic
work schedules, unmanageable stress or pressure of meeting deadlines can impact
the quality and duration of sleep. If left untreated, it can reduce one’s
performance in the workplace and affect normal daytime activities.
Shift work sleep disorder is mostly found among people who
work in night shifts. Software professionals, call centre employees, workers of
manufacturing companies and nursing staff of hospitals who work round the clock
have a constant state of circadian disruption.
Circadian rhythms are
important for normal health because they provide internal synchronization
between the body and the environment. People who work in rotating shifts may
experience one of the following symptoms – drowsiness, loss of concentration,
depleted energy levels, mood swings and irritability. Less sleep before a shift
can lead to dangerous work conditions and lead to accidents, both on and off
the job.
Reasons for shift work sleep disorder
Rising unemployment levels in current times have left people
with no option but to work in different shifts. Any work that a person performs
out of the regular 9 am to 6 pm schedule is considered shift work. These shifts
can be irregular and have severe health consequences.
Diagnosis of shift work disorder
The doctor may inquire about sleep patterns and history of
sleep routine of the patient. Questions regarding medical history and current
medications might also be asked by the physician in order to find out the main
cause of sleep disorder.
There are different ways to manage shift work sleep
disorder. However, one should never underestimate the importance of a good
night sleep and should make it a priority.
Lifestyle changes which can offer relief in shift work
sleep disorder:
• Try to maintain a
regular sleep time on all days of the week.
• Take a break of
48 hours after a series of shifts.
• Limit the use of
caffeine at least 4 hours before bedtime.
• Use earplugs to
drown out sound while you sleep.
• Maintain a
healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables
• Take half an hour
nap before a work shift
• Use over- the- counter Melatonin
Treatment Options for shift work sleep disorder
Popular sleep aids such as melatonin improve the quality of
sleep. One can also try hypnotics and sedatives. Top sleeping pills such as
Ambien (Zolpidem) can offer satisfactory sleep after a tiresome and exhaustive
shift. However, Sleeping Pills UK should
always be taken after getting the green signal from a general physician.
