Dear Dr. Taz,
What sort of ongoing support would you suggest for nurses (and others) who work night shift and are awake several nights each week?
Answer:
Unfortunately, this is really tough on a female body. I feel for you. Try to batch your shifts or spread out to 1 per week if you can. Also, you can take melatonin to help with shifts in sleep cycle, and high dose b vitamins and many need hormonal support like bioidentical progesterone. We have a great b vitamin blend called Natural Boost that you may want to try. Please make sure your hormones are monitored and checked every 6 mos.
