    Essential Oils

    One way to help calm the mind and body is by using essential oils, such as lavender and chamomile, which have been proven to have calming and soothing effects. Taking time before bed (whatever time that might be for you) to diffuse oils can help relax the body and mind for those struggling with sleeplessness due to shift work. Additionally, topically applying one of these oils on the skin can have calming effects that will help you drift off into a deep sleep.

    Sleep Headphones

    If you're looking for an extra level of comfort while sleeping during shift work, consider investing in a pair of sleep headphones. Not only do they block out sound and light, but some even come equipped with aromatherapy features that help further soothe the mind and body. Try combining these headphones with essential oils such as lavender and chamomile to create a spa-like atmosphere right in your bedroom. This will help ensure that you drift off into deep, restful sleep that can help get you through shift work.
