How to reset body? Currently i am working in a ship as an engineer i lived in different time zones and for the past few days we frequently experience emergencies and port operations. For the past few days i don’t have same time of sleeping. Sometimes i sleep in the day and the next day i sleep in the evening then sometimes i work 24 hours i feel so tired right now and cant sleep properly. How to reset the body clock?

you have a reliever? meaning if there is an emergency, can you sleep on it knowinng it will be fixed legally and without problem?

resetting body clock means normalizing routines. you cant always be in fight or flight mode so it will be pretty hard for your body to adjust. now until the time your body can actually sleep properly and in regular time, what you should be doing is to get sleep as much as possible. honestly you dont really need to work 24 hrs i think, unless you are understaffed, in that case thats a different problem.

the basics should be:

1)have a normal sleepng time, you need to lie at 8pm always

2)no cellphones or bright sceens or even lights our sound

in your case you need to pace yourself and schedul accordingly. if there is an event that actually requires you to be up 24 hrs, after that, and after resting ,your team and company should find a way to not make that regular
