Are you a shift worker who finds it hard to stay awake at night and just as hard to get to sleep and stay asleep during the day? Do you know a shift worker who just doesn’t sleep well? More than 22 million Americans are shift workers, and that number is growing by 3% each year! Unfortunately, when it comes to sleep, most shift workers don't get enough. Night workers get less sleep than daytime workers do, and the sleep is less restful. Chronic lack of sleep harms a person's health, on-the-job safety, task performance, memory and mood
Come learn about the impact of shift work on sleep and hear how excessive sleepiness may be diagnosed and treated.
