Hi. Looking to connect with other tech newbies and seasoned techs with experience.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the New Employee Connections group.

I got one set of healing hands. Are y’all wearing business casual for the first day or scrubs?

Adjusting Your Sleep Schedule
It's difficult to maintain a non-traditional sleep schedule, but many people are able to do it successfully.

First, it's key that you minimize your exposure to morning light when you come off your shift. If possible, wear dark sunglasses when leaving work. Try to minimize light exposure until after you have slept.1

As in all situations, it'll be important to establish a regular sleep schedule and consolidate your sleep periods.

That is, rather than sleeping for a few hours at times scattered throughout the day, try to sleep in one long stretch as you would at night.2 Your body will establish a new circadian rhythm, allowing you to be awake during the night and asleep during the day.

My last comment I could not post the source.
BTW if you haven't ordered aides to help you sleep during the day think about it... or how to modify your sleep schedule and environment.

Thank you everyone that was extremely helpful.

Yeah I got one set of teal only because I have to wear sterile scrubs whenever I get out of orientation. They said I could get any color but I didn’t want anyone to get confused to what role I am.
