Hi, thanks for the query. Your problem is typical of those facing shift work duties & hence first & foremost; you need to get off your shift duty. The problem is your body rhythm (known as circadian rhythm) gets disturbed due to shift work & hence body regulatory axis gets confused as to decide what is the proper time to sleep & get up. This is somewhat similar to jet lag experienced by people. My suggestions are consult your doctor to try either of 2 new molecules Ramelteon, Agomelatin. Both of these act directly on body s circadian rhythm regulating axis & reset it to normalcy. Secondly, there is something called as phase advance therapy of sleep regulation where simply put you stay awake for 1 whole night; do daily routines very next day & get to bed in night (your expected sleeping time); then you try to get up 1 hour earlier than your usual sleeping hours (so on & so forth). There are drugs like modafinil, armodafinil which help to promote wakefulness & ward off lethargy particularly in shift workers having sleep difficulties. Also discuss about them with your doctor. Lastly, depression, anxiety disorders, parasomnia & narcolepsy are causes of sleeping difficulty which frequently get unnoticed. Hence, consult your Psychiatrist to rule out these causes. Hope this helps. Good Luck
