I'm not sure how you make an entire video about how to get sleep during the day without addressing sound. Yes, light is important, because the rays from the Sun tell our bodies that it's time to wake up --- which is why everyone who works a graveyard shift should avoid it as much as possible when sleeping. However, what are you going to do about those noisy nieghbors making all kinds of commotion with their lawn equipment or holding parties in the floor above you? Besides blocking off almost all light coming into my room (by putting a retractable shade over my window), I have also found earplugs that fit my ear quite well (so they don't hurt like crazy when I wake up in the morning), and I even use Vaseline to keep ears lubricated (you don't want dry ear canals) and I soften the earplugs using a blowdryer. And in places where darkening the room is not an option, a sleep mask is extremely handy as well. Now I can sleep at just about any time of the day that I want --- as long as I'm tired. 😅

3 hours is no longer a “nap”. I rarely sleep more than that on any given day. I'd probably be suited for shiftwork. Thank God I don't have to do it though. Many thanks to those who do so that all the daytime people can have their online orders in 30 minutes or less and stocked store shelves to peruse on their lunch break. Never really understood why some stores set their open hours the same as when everyone's at work. I'm especially looking at you, Dry-Cleanerses. 🤨

Can't imagine 3rd shift. Have worked second shift for 30+ years and rarely wake to an alarm clock.
