Books

Not specifically night shift work, but tough jobs in general:

"How to Tell When You're Tired: A Brief Examination of Work"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393315576

"The Eight" by Katherine Neville. It's a great thriller, specially if you like chess.

Otherwise, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, a timeless classic!

The Mayo Clinic has a great Q & A on stuff that I've read in scientific articles.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-shift-work-and-sleep-problems/

Basically:

• shift your circadian rhythm
• expose yourself to bright light before/during your shift (an article mentioned 4 hours were done in their study resulting an increase in alertness).
• shades during the day when you're done with work
• darken your room or wear a sleep mask
• lower core body temp for better sleep
