Hi,
Your sleep problem is very likely due to an irregular sleep- wake cycle caused by night shifts.
Working night duty even a few days a month can disturb your body clock for weeks, making it hard to sleep at home even when you are tired.
This is called Shift Work Sleep Disorder- very common in hospital staff.
It is not a serious illness, but it needs proper sleep hygiene and sometimes short-term medication support.
Next Steps
1. Fix a stable sleep schedule on non-night-duty days (same sleep & wake time).
2. Use dark curtains, silence, and a cool room when sleeping during the day or early morning.
3. Avoid mobile/laptop for 1 hour before sleep.
4. Avoid tea/coffee 6 hours before sleeping.
5. If sleep is still poor, Reach out for an online or in-person consultation:

Health Tips
- Try using earplugs or a white-noise app if your house is noisy.
- After night shift, sleep immediately when you reach home- do not delay.
- Good sleep hygiene usually solves the issue within 2-3 weeks.
