Yes,sleeping at work
is actually a sackable offence.
Staff have been dismissed
for sleeping when inappropriate (ie not in their meal break).
I too have done nights
off & on for years, you just work out your own rhythm & what suits your
body & family best. Beware of eating too many meals in 24 hours, sometimes
you eat just to keep warm & awake, not good for the weight ! Take a
jersey,even if busy you get cold coming home & on a break (if you get
one).
I too am a 'jump into bed
ASAP after shower person' & sleep solidly from 0800hrs until
1130hrs.
Then I sleep again
from 1900 until 2100, work starts at 2130.
Works for me
!
Lovely births at night,
nice & peaceful, no phones or traffic through the wards, no interference
& seems somehow more natural.
The downside is that you
can get out of touch with what's current in your unit if you are on
extended terms of nights unless you make a concerted effort to attend
in-services & keep up with new developments.
Good luck.
