Best way to prepare for night shift?

Coffee coffee coffee; keeps you awake, you’re buzzing so more productive and need a lot of trips to the toilet so good breaks during work

So I have my first night shifts next week, any tips on how to prepare for them?

You need to get enough sleep, have comfortable shoes and make sure you have eaten plus have energy food to hand. Is it an 8hr or 12h shift?
You can get caffeine tablets if needs be, but dont take them till later. 12h shifts are much harder.

12hr shifts
Shoes are comfortable
The sleep will be more difficult but I’ll make it work

Take pre workout **** slaps hard

I don’t actually have any. Normally use energy drinks or sugar when training

Are you doing 4 days on 4 days off? Are you sat down or walking?
If its the former then get as much sleep as possible.
Get your stuff ready to go the night before.
When you get home you should have something to eat and then sleep till about 3hrs before.
Sat down is much easier.

Daaamn you’re missing out. I take it once every week or so, so I don’t get used to it but that **** is liiiiiiiiiiiiit.

bring some good food and 1L water so you don’t die of hydration. on ur breaks, if you don’t have internet on ur phone then bring a book. cause ur gonna be bored af. i don’t talk to anyone at work so if i didn’t then the 30 mins would feel like 2827 hours of pure boredom. bring a portable charger cos it’s gonna be a long night

I’ve only got three as I’m limited to 30hrs per week
Mixture of sat and walking

Sleep and food for energy. 3x per week not as bad.

I’m only doing nights this one week then switching back to day shift as you learn more but it’s a good experience

It will be fine then plus also makes a big difference depending what you do.
Sleep, plus food for energy and some form of caffeine to perk you up if needed as last resort.
Should be fine.

I’m a student nurse. got appointments on the day before my first shift so gonna caffeine it up that day and then I should be okay the others
