I'm thinking about switching to night shifts for 2 weeks every couple of months. Do you think this could mess with my biological clock or have any negative effects on my health?

How long is a power nap?

10-20 mins

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Ive been feeling really sleepy from 7pm to 9pm every night and its starting to worry me. Even though I take a two-hour nap every afternoon, I still get really drowsy in the evening. Is there something I can do to change this pattern or any advice you could give me on why this might be happening?

To combat evening sleepiness, try limiting afternoon naps to 20-30 minutes, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, staying hydrated, getting fresh air, and engaging in relaxing activities, while avoiding screens before bedtime, and consider a 10-15 minute walk or some light stretching to boost energy levels.
