Are you being woken up from your sleep?

It’s so healthy to sleep properly, especially at night. However, some people don’t have that option because of their job. For example, people working shifts; drivers, warehouse workers, firefighters, staff in day care centers, etc. You can put

on the chair legs to avoid the noise.

The body can’t really adapt to odd working hours

The body’s temperature and certain hormones fluctuate with daylight. Our ability to sleep and rest is less during the day, and it becomes increasingly difficult to change our body’s rhythms as we age. You react slower when you work nights (like if you’ve had ¾ of a bottle of wine.) Most shift workers sleep about 2 hours less than day workers. On average, we sleep 7 hours per day, usually in one continuous period. However, the length of sleep varies greatly from person to person.

The sleep rhythm, on the other hand, is quite similar – for periods of about 90 minutes in length, we sleep deeper and deeper, then return to the surface – perhaps with a few ultra-short awakenings during the night. When sleep reaches its lightest stage, we dream. These REM periods, where the eyes move back and forth rapidly, are initially short, perhaps 3-5 minutes, but over the course of the night, REM periods become longer and longer, reaching 20-25 minutes in length. At the same time, sleep doesn’t get as deep in the “troughs” With age, sleep becomes more shallow and there may be more awakenings.

Shift worker sleep
For most people, daytime sleep becomes shorter – perhaps as little as 5 hours between night shifts. At the same time, sleep is not as deep as at night and the number of REM periods becomes shorter, as does the total length of REM periods. So daytime sleep is not as long, deep or dreamy as nighttime sleep. Aside from the immediate sleepiness, there is no immediate effect of sleep deprivation. The body will try to catch up, REM periods come faster and last longer in each sleep cycle. But of course, fatigue can be problematic because it increases the risk of accidents.
