What Should Nurses Avoid to Maintain a Regular Sleep Schedule?
Nurses should avoid:
1. Caffeine and Nicotine Before Bed: These stimulants can interfere with your ability to fall asleep. 2. Heavy Meals and Alcohol: Eating large meals or consuming alcohol close to bedtime can disrupt sleep. 3. Screen Time: The blue light from screens can hinder the production of melatonin, making it difficult to fall asleep. 4. Irregular Naps: While short naps can be beneficial, long or irregular naps can interfere with your nighttime sleep.
