Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Sleep problems are common in people who do night shift duties. As of now, try to sleep at normal time, between 9-11 pm at nights. If you do not get sleep, you may use zolpidem, under medical supervision.
In addition, please make sure your vitamin B12 level and thyroid profile are normal, as in addition, you also have dizziness and memory problems.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
