[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1660702, member: 400972"] I can’t advise regarding your Diabetes, but I worked night shifts for many years prior to my diabetes diagnosis. On the day before the first night, I got up early and rushed around getting organised for the week. My night shifts were Mon, Tues and Wed. I then tried to take a nap in the afternoon, not always successfully. By the next morning after work I was sufficiently tired to fall asleep quite easily and sleep for around six hours. Switching back the other end I went to bed as soon as I got in from my last shift but set an alarm for four hours, not easy to get up then but took the rest of the day awake but not doing much, so I could sleep that night.
