I think yes

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks again for considering healthcare magic your health partner.

Although I have earlier advised you in regard to above question but I feel the problem is not still solved for you.

I understand it is difficult for you to manage shift work but maintaining sleep hygiene could play a good trick.

Although there are numerous articles and advice available for proper sleep hygiene but you can follow the one which I posted earlier on another website.

The link to sleep hygiene article is as follows- https://www.icliniq.com/articles/emotional-and-mental-health/how-to-sleep-better-tips-for-getting-a-good-nights-sleep

The above article will guide you to keep good night/day sleep after working. It is important to emphasize that although these are small suggestions but they play crucial role in bringing good sleep in most individuals.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
