I work a night shift and also suffer from sleep apnea so getting to sleep can be difficult at time but what does help me a lot is guided meditation. You can download an app called Medito and just follow the section on sleep meditation it really helps

Great advise, night shift work really messes up your sleeping pattern

I've had Melissa dreams myself in the past. I never told her about them though.

If you're suffering with sleep apnea, one of those masks should help. I know people who've had terrible sleep and the mask for it has literally changed their life!

There are lots of things you can do to help with sleep, depending on your lifestyle.

No blue screens at least 2 hours before bedtime. Read a magazine or book instead or listen to a podcast.

Make sure your bedroom is clutter free, electronic devices free and well ventilated. Your bedroom should be your haven for sleeping in (and for sex

) so try to keep it as clear of junk, clutter and paraphernalia.

Ideally a regular bedtime and rising time.

No heavy meals a few hours before bedtime, try not to drink too much late at night either.

Avoid stimulants like coffee and tea - go for herbal teas instead. Lots of offers in supermarkets and health food shops.

Essential oils are great too. If you don't have a diffuser, a couple of drops on a tissue and put it underneath your pillow.

Essential oils like lavender or frankincense (this is the mediation oil, it grounds you).

There are lots of apps for meditation but a simple search on YouTube will also bring up plenty. If you haven't done it before, start with 5 or 10 minutes and stick with it... you might just be pleasantly surprised

Practicing mindfulness is a great tool. Try to leave stress and worry for the daytime, particularly if you have any specific worries - set yourself a "worry time" and stick to it. Look for distractions when you do catch yourself worrying about something outside of the time you've set yourself...

I hope you will find something that helps you...

Hope you find something. I struggled for a few years because of shift work. On days since April 21 and my sleep pattern took a good year to get back to normal.
