Coping Better with Night Work

Working at night is not normal for humans, and this work schedule causes problems for most people. However, it is possible to mitigate these problems with a better understanding of the effects of night work on sleep and health, and by implementing specific strategies. Marie Dumont holds a Ph.D. in neurosciences. She is a researcher at the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine (CARSM) in Montreal and a professor at the University of Montreal, a position she has held since 1990. Her primary research focus is on sleep regulation and biological rhythms, particularly in night workers. She developed this web tutorial with Le-cours to provide night workers with reliable, free, and accessible information to help them cope better with night work. The tutorial consists of four steps, presented in four units. The first three units provide information on the effects that night work may have on you, especially on your sleep. They aim to help you identify the problems you may have and the obstacles that prevent you from sleeping well when working nights. The fourth unit proposes several strategies that you may find suitable for your situation and that you may want to try. The entire course lasts approximately one and a half hours. Each unit takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. Each unit can be done independently and at different times. This course is available in English only.
