Some reasons and behaviors that contribute to sleep deprivation that are specific to nurses are: 1) working the night shift (may be difficult to sleep for long periods of time during the day), 2) rotating shifts (rotating shifts does not usually provide enough time to adjust to the new schedule; hence this can contribute to a loss of sleep), 3) working 10- to 12-hour shifts repeatedly (this does not allow for much time between shifts for sleeping), and 4) ongoing thoughts about patients and activities at work (not thoughts about family and social pressures, as these are not specific to nurses).
