caffeine and that sort of stuff wont work in the long term
changing your bodies sleep patterns is the best route. Move it back 45-to an hour, and wake up the same amount earlier, do it over a period of a week to 2. FORCE yourself out of bed, even if there is nothing to do.

I used to work the 11-8 shift.
hour long breaks = hour long naps, which seemed good but killed the 2nd half the shift.

shift work is a bitch, which is why nobody wants it. Good luck.

i've done crazier hours.

10-6am...12-8:30am......4pm-6:30am

Get a lot of rest. Sleep in long. It's also good to stay up late the night before. Either way, you're bound to get sleepy. Just live with it

the craziest hours are when they switch you from day shifts to night shifts like every two weeks. once you set into a rhythm, they go and fuck it up...

Who goes to homebase in the middle of the night?!

make sure to change ur sleeping habits quick. That way you won't lay in bed for hours trying to sleep. My dad used to work shifts of about 18-20 hours at a time. he started seeing ghosts and shit

If you have free access to some sort of coffee/cappuccino machine there, you'll be fine.

Most newer hospitals do have a Tim Hortons, but the problem is you'd have to pay for that, defeating the purpose of a good hour or so of you working there in the first place.

You'll get used to it though, with or without the caffeine.
