Night shift nurse trying to figure out optimal session timing with irregular sleep schedule
Work as an ER nurse doing 12 hour night shifts. Three nights on, four days off, rotating schedule. Interested in trying hyperbaric sessions for general wellness and recovery but struggling to figure out when to schedule them.
Sleep schedule flips between day sleeping and night sleeping depending on work rotation. Energy levels vary a lot based on where in the cycle.
For people with irregular schedules or shift work, how did you find a sustainable session routine? Same time each week regardless of sleep schedule or adjust based on rotation?
Curious if session timing affects how you feel afterward. Morning sessions, afternoon, evening, does it matter when sleep schedule is unconventional?
Want to commit to consistent sessions but need to figure out a pattern that works with nursing schedule. The clinic has flexible hours which helps but still need to choose a regular time.
Any shift workers or people with non traditional schedules who made this work long term? What scheduling approach did you find sustainable?
