Anyone have advice on getting back onto a good sleep schedule after a few very stressful months? I'm totally thrown off and just not focusing well at all

They say the best way to reset your body clock is to take in some sunlight during the day. The second best way is to take a dip in the ocean. Hope this helps!

Try taking melatonin supplements. I also have a messed up body clock and I find it hard sleeping early at night. Melatonin has really changed my life.

I would suggest getting thick curtains to block out any sunlight. Also get a good eyemask. If all else fails, take some melatonin pills or any sleep inducing food to get your circadian rhythm back.

Take a day or two off to reset you body. This way you can get your rest and get your sleeping schedule back on track

Are you still dealing with a heavy workload? It could be time to delegate some work so that you can rest better.

Have you tried Melatonin? That seems to work really well for me.

no devices at night, dark room/no lights before going to sleep, chamomile tea before going to sleep or warm milk, you can try melatonin, warm shower/bath before bed, make sure your room in cool at night, no caffeine late in the afternoon or evening, try melatonin, do not get out of bed or check devices when you wake

I do a lot more meditation and yoga. Ideally during the day, but if not, definitely a nighttime unwind. I find that I have to start winding down earlier than normal after a stressful period - so like ~2ish hours before bed which isn't always feasible

I also suggest getting blackout curtains and trying melatonin. Start with 5mg and if that doesn't work then I would increase to 10 mg. That seems to work really well for me as far as falling asleep.

This takes time, honestly. But once you get it started, things will be easier. Number 1 advice, don not use your phone when you're already in bed, put it somewhere that will require you to stand up. Number 2, do not take naps, no matter how tired you are (you can take naps once you got your normal sleep sched back), number 3, avoid excercising too close to bedtime.

If melatonin isn't enough, ask your doctor about Trazodone. It's not a controlled substance, and it has the benefit of acting as an antidepressant (which most people in Big Law probably need).

How should I handle this? Is it inevitable that I'll have to work during my vacation right before I quit or is there a way to avoid it?

Echo and nuclear leaders and techs: is your facility 1) requiring COVID testing before exercise stress testing, 2) wear N95 and PPE, or 3) both testing and PPE?
Our clinic is removing the cost barrier of testing but staff are worried about risks since echo rooms don’t have HEPA or negative pressure systems and patients are allowed to remove their masks while running and breathing heavy during image acquisition.
Have you had good / bad experience with lack of Covid testing before stresses?
