Schedules and breaks are part of prevention. Discuss sleep difficulties with occupational health.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Night or rotating shifts can disturb sleep and reduce alertness.

Show occupational health your schedule if these hours cause sleep difficulties.

Prevention also involves work organisation: predictable schedules and suitable breaks.

For daytime sleep, prepare a dark, quiet room protected from interruptions.

Opportunities to rest during a shift need to be organised with the employer.

If you become drowsy while driving or using a tool, stop that activity to get to safety.
