Many people often assume that health care providers are healthier than the general population. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has shined a concerning light on the physical and mental health of health care workers (i.e. NURSES)– and their lack of sleep. Nearly 1 in 3 nurses may suffer from insomnia, while more than 1 in 8 admits to taking medications to help them stay awake, according to a recent study.

Anyone who has ever experienced any type of sleep disturbance or sleep disorder knows how incredibly frustrating this can be. It can be hard to focus and make decisions. The simplest tasks become overwhelming. Do not underestimate the power of sleep. Let’s not even talk about how you toss and turn all night long. How you wake up constantly, sometimes for over an hour each time, unable to fall back asleep.

The next morning, as you virtually crawl your zombied self to your coffee maker in the kitchen, you can’t even handle how tired you feel. How are you even going to function and do your job effectively?! Health care workers face many stressors, and many studies have shown that sleep plays a major role. How can we improve sleep quality for health care workers? In this episode, we’ll focus on what you can do to help your body get back on track and sleep. Class is in session!
