Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about ShiftNap, our sleep resources, recommendations, and
mission to help shift workers sleep better.

How can I sleep better when I work night shifts?

Sleeping better on night shifts starts with creating a consistent sleep routine, controlling light exposure, making your bedroom dark and quiet, and avoiding habits that interfere with recovery. Small changes like using blackout curtains, limiting caffeine before sleep, and maintaining a regular schedule can help your body adjust.

What is the best sleep schedule for shift workers?

The best sleep schedule depends on your shift pattern, but most shift workers benefit from keeping a consistent sleep window whenever possible. Many night workers do well with a main sleep period during the day combined with a short nap before work to improve alertness and energy.

How many hours of sleep do shift workers need?

Most adults need around 7–9 hours of sleep per day, including shift workers. Because irregular schedules can reduce sleep quality, focusing on both the amount and quality of sleep is important for better focus, mood, and long-term health.

How can I adjust my body clock for night shift work?

You can help your body adapt by gradually shifting your sleep schedule, using bright light at the right times, avoiding morning sunlight after a night shift, and keeping your sleep environment dark and comfortable during the day.

What can I do to recover after a long or overnight shift?

Recovery after a demanding shift involves prioritizing quality sleep, staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, managing stress, and allowing enough time for your body and mind to recharge before your next shift.

Are sleep supplements and products helpful for shift workers?

Some sleep products, such as blackout curtains, sleep masks, white noise machines, and other sleep-support tools, may help create a better sleep environment. Supplements should be considered carefully and discussed with a healthcare professional when needed.
