I need some help from you folks. For the last 3 years of EM residency, I've had no difficulty sleeping whenever I had a chance. Now my schedule's a little lighter so I'm less sleep-deprived, and after I've been on evenings I just can't seem to fall asleep at night! That means that every Wednesday conference AM is PAINFUL! I do all the "right" things: 1 caffeinated drink daily, get up early to tire myself out, no TV in my bedroom, no napping when I get home from a day shift. Yet, here I am, at 2:20 AM and I am WIDE awake! Seriously - I just threw in a load of laundry and folded some clothes.
What are your tricks for getting back on a day schedule after you've been on evenings? (I've mastered the overnights switch back to days)
