If you’re a shift worker then the term ‘shift worker fatigue’ is a sensitive topic because it pretty much sums up your entire existence – fatigued.
But is this really true or are we anticipating shift worker fatigue by just talking about it?
Confused? Well let me explain.
I was having a bite to eat in the lunch room one day, and I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation that was going on between two people.
Their conversation focussed on how tired they were going to be tomorrow and for the rest of the week. It was as if they were trying to convince each other how few hours of sleep they were going to get, and most of all, how tired they were going to be. But the interesting thing was, that they were sounding more and more tired the longer the conversation continued.
Each person said things like, “Boy, am I going to be tired tomorrow,” and “Gee, I’m only going to get three hours of sleep tonight.” Basically they were anticipating feeling exhausted so pretty much talking themselves into it.
What was really interesting is that the longer the conversation went on, their voices became heavier and I actually felt myself getting tired just listening to their conversation!
The problem with anticipating tiredness, or shift worker fatigue in this way, is that it clearly reinforces the tiredness. It rivets your attention to the number of hours you are sleeping and how tired you are going to be.
Could anticipating tiredness send a message to your brain reminding you to feel and act tired because you have programmed yourself to respond this way?
Personally, I have found that the best strategy to overcome shift worker fatigue is to get as much sleep as I possibly can and be grateful for whatever amount that might be. If I simply forget about it and don’t talk about it – I’m far more rested with the sleep that I do get.
So stop talking about how tired you’re feeling – or how tired that you’re going to be, and you’ll start feeling much more energized and certainly a lot less fatigued!
Now if you’re also suffering from shift work fatigue, you have a low immune system or you’d just like to know how to get some more zing back into your life, then I recommend you sit down and study my Free Report – “Why Shift Workers Are So Tired, Unhealthy & Unhappy- And What YOU Can Do To Fix It!”
