Working night shift, and not sleeping.

QuestionI work night shift every few weeks for a period of 7 nights. I have difficulty trying to get to sleep. When I do sleep, it is very poor and broken. The most I sleep is about 4 hours (if I am lucky). Can I use Melatonin to help improve my sleep, I do take the odd sleeping tablet prescribed by the doctor and have little effect?
AnswerYes, you can use melatonin supplements to help your sleeping.
You are suffering from Shift Work Sleep Disorder.
Melatonin will really help you sleep better.
