Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) can be controlled with medicine and changes to how you live your life. Some common medicines are:

Melatonin is a natural hormone that controls when you sleep and wake up. If shift workers take it before bed, it can help them fall asleep faster.
Modafinil (Provigil): This a drug that helps people stay awake and is used to keep people from being too sleepy at work.
Armodafinil (Nuvigil): This drug works like provigil in that it helps you stay awake during work shifts.
Caffeine: Although caffeine isn't a prescription drug, it can help you stay awake and work better during the day.

It's also important to use methods that don't involve drugs, like sticking to a regular sleep routine, making sure your bedroom is dark and quiet, and using light treatment to balance your circadian rhythms. It is very important to talk to a doctor or nurse to figure out the best way to treat SWSD.

Medications like provigil and armodafinil are often used to treat shift work disorder because they help people stay awake and alert at work. These medicines help keep sleep-wake cycles normal, which can be hard for people whose work plans change often. Keeping a regular sleep routine, making sure you have a good sleep setting, and following good sleep habits are all non-drug ways to effectively handle symptoms. Talking to a doctor or nurse is important for getting the right diagnosis and having the right treatment.
