Sleeping pills to induce sleeping after grave yard shift?

Our sleeping pattern is actually affected by light. At night we are sleepy because there's lack of light. During daylight we're awake because there's a large amount of sunlight. This pattern is known as circadian rhythm. If you are a night worker who has a hard time to sleep during daytime you might try the light therapy. This involves using a bright light during nighttime and then in the morning when you go home you wear those amber colored glasses that block ultraviolet/blue light. This is the light component that affect circadian rhythm. Hopefully this light therapy will "fool" your body's sense of day and night so you will be able to sleep during daytime. It is not recommended to use sleeping pills for this condition because they can cause dependency.

I simply have no tricks I can share with you coz I myself have the same problem. I can hardly go to sleep and am usually asleep only when dawn breaks and becaue of which my classes are being missed Anyway I have heard a warm bath and a glass of warm milk will make you drowsy in no time. Do try them and I hope it helps

Have you tried eating a ripe banana and drink warm/lukewarm milk? It's a good downer than taking sleeping pills. Most call center agents who works graveyard know this kind of downer instead of taking sleeping pills that might hurt your health. You can just try it,instead of taking meal,or eating foods,eat ripe banana,maybe 2 pieces regular size and a glass of milk. I hope this works for you...it works with me and most people in the call center.
