A5. If you have any doubts about your quantity or quality of sleep, come see us! Best case scenario you don’t have a sleep disorder. Alternative best case scenario you have a sleep disorder and we can treat it. Don’t forget to take care of yourself!

A4. Tell your team you’re sleepy. We have this strange stigma about needing to sleep - but you need to eat and go to the bathroom too and nobody bats an eye. Also, the last thing your team wants is for you or your patient to be hurt because of how tired you are #ATSChat
@ATS_Assemblies@SreeNaikMD@AnitaVShel@Vaish1986@ATSSRN#ATSchat another consequence is erosion of the therapeutic relationship between patients and healthcare professionals. Fatigue, when leading to burnout, comes with lack of empathy and thoughtfulness which ultimately creates a divide.
@SreeNaikMD Good colleagues/debriefing also help to not carry the day home (and the day interrupting your sleep)! I like to avoid dreams about vent settings when possible 😴

1. Prioritize your sleep! It’s easy to push it off when family/friends/social media call but sleep really is crucial. Avoid the revenge procrastination!
2. Caffeine can be quite effective, make sure to not take too late in the evening, 1/2 life of 5 hours!

Theoretically I’d have gradually gone to bed later and later and woken up later and later in the days before the switch… but let’s be honest residency/fellowship aren’t really set up for you to have time to gradually delay your schedule #6to6life#ATSChat
A2. I like trying to overlap my new sleep window w/ my old sleep window - ie if I usually sleep 11 PM - 6 AM and am starting nights, then trying to sleep from 3AM to 10 AM rather than fully trying to flip the first night (never works for me and then I’m just groggy).
