Emergency: must reset sleep schedule!

Posted by zonked on December 9, 2011, at 5:25:18

OK guys, that graveyard shift I did *really* screwed me up. Emotionally flat and cranky during the day yesterday, and woke up at 2:30 this morning.

So, I have to work Saturday (tomorrow). Was wondering, since the Ambien CR didn't seem to do a thing other than put me in mild sleep for a few hours - if I should try 1/2 a melatonin to reset my cycle.

Unless I over-caffeinate, there's a nap in my future today. I need to be well rested for work.

Options: Caffeinate as per usual, nap, water, a little more caffeine during the early to mid afternoon, and an ambien CR as usual at night.

2. The above, except with 1/2 a melatonin pill at bedtime.

WILL NOT take graveyard shifts again. I have really messed with my sleep schedule.. not happy. I will be going to the gym today for sure, because I am stressed about this. Xanax only does so much!
