Shift Work Sleep Essentials
10
items Good sleep hygiene has been a huge goal of mine since the start of nursing, and these are just some items that have helped me to sleep easier at night.
I wouldn’t skimp on this product. This is the best sleep mask I’ve ever tried. The weight is perfect, not to light or heavy, and makes me fall asleep so much faster.
Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask | Patented Light Blocking
Another game changer. The weight helps to get rid of the post shift anxiety and helps me to fall asleep so quickly
Weighted Blankets
Any type of fan will work. I find the light “breeze” helps my body to relax
Box Fan
If it weren’t for these, I don’t think I’d ever sleep after a night shift. These are a life saver when it comes to blocking out light.
Blackout Curtains
As someone who is a warm sleeper and sleeps with a body pillow, this pillow case is a game changer. The material is very cooling, and feels so nice against the skin.
Cooling Body Pillow Case
As someone who sleeps fetal position and needs a body pillow for help with pain in my lower back and legs after long shifts, a body pillow has been essential in reducing stiffness and soreness!
Body Pillow
Honestly any sound machine/ alarm clock will work, but the hatch has been my favourite. The different lights and sounds help me to fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up so much more easy than just a traditional phone alarm

Aerie & American Eagle have the best pajamas. Every set I've gotten is a super cute pattern and great quality. I LOVE lounging around in ther pajamas and they make me not want to get dressed in the morning

I have an adjustable bed frame and love it. I can sit up in bed propped up on my actual matress, I can do zero gravity, and adjust certain parts of my matress to relieve pressure on my joints. I would highly recommend.

As a warm sleeper, these sheets are thin enough to be airy, but are thick enough, good quality and soft.
