In general, people doing shift work need to maintain as consistent a sleep and mealtime schedule as possible. Some nurses often ease their coping with shift work by knowing their own circadian rhythms. A nurse who typically thinks well at night and tends to sleep late in the morning will adapt better to night shift than to day shift. Rotating shifts prevent establishment of a consistent sleep and mealtime schedule.
