Sleeping in shifts

beerbaron · 2008-01-28 14:27:39

Heya The shift in my new job runs from 11pm - 3 am which means im asleep (hopefully) by 4 am. Thing is, I have to be up for college at 7.40 in the mornin which doesnt give me much rest at all. So, I was wonder if I got a couple of hours kip at say 5-7pm would that work out the same as getting a good nites sleep? Ta

It should do. There are many different ways to sleep as opposed to once a day.

Good luck.
