Plain guides for nurses on rotating nights. Each answers one question in its first lines, then gives the steps, and every claim links to the research or public-health training it comes from.

Coming off nightsSwitching from nights back to daysThe day after your last night: the short sleep, the nap you skip, caffeine and bedtime.
NapsNapping before a night shiftHow long, when, what to do about grogginess, and naps on the shift itself.
