There are certain regulations that apply to employees who work at night.

These apply to all employees be they

permanent members of staff or casual workers.

Generally, night workers:

In general, , although there are quite a number of exceptions to this rule and you can find out more from the
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

It is an employer's duty to comply with the night work regulations. They should keep records to ensure
workers do not exceed their night working limit along with records of their employees' health assessments for
2 years or, if they didn't take up that offer, you should record the date the offer was made.

How to Adapt to Working at Night

A human's body clock was designed to be awake during daylight hours and to sleep at night and many night
workers have experienced difficulty in adapting to the changes in working at night and sleeping during the day.
There are no clear solutions to this problem but some good tips include:

• Adapting to your new time frame as quickly as possible by timing meals and other activities to match
the new 'day'.
• Exercise can often sort out body rhythms. You could try starting your new 'day' with a brisk jog or by
cycling. This may mean doing your exercise at 10 o'clock at night when most people are start thinking
about getting ready to go to bed but it has proven to have been beneficial for many night shift workers.
• Although not always possible, studies have shown that a short nap in the middle of a night shift can
help maintain or improve performance later on in the shift. Perhaps, you could consider this during
your longest rest break within your shift.
• One of the most common complaints about adjusting to night shift work is the difficulty some people
find in sleeping during the day. It is just as important to try and create the same relaxing environment
as you would normally do if you were sleeping at night. Your room should be well ventilated and not
too hot. It should be as quiet as it would be at night so if you have a family, they should consider your
needs sympathetically. If need be, you should install black-out window blinds so that your bedroom is
as dark as possible and consider ear plugs and sleeping masks for your eyes, such as those you might
get offered on a plane.
• When eating on the night shift, choose smaller portions rather than a heavier meal which can make
you feel tired and sluggish and can sometimes cause heartburn and try to avoid late night caffeine as
this can have an adverse effect when you get home in the morning and are trying to get to sleep.

It can often be extremely difficult to survive the night shift, especially if you work day shifts too and have to
switch between the two on your rota and working nights can have a big impact on your health, both physically
and emotionally. However, if you can adopt a routine, still get enough quality sleep, eat the right foods,
maintain social ties, and keep physically active - most people find that they can usually adapt well to working
the 'graveyard' shift.

Working the night shift means less time stuck in traffic.

Many people see the night shift as a last resort. Sleeping during the day and working through the
night has its disadvantages, particularly in regard to your health and social life. However, there are
some benefits to working the night shift if you can adjust to the unnatural schedule.

Night Shift Meal Areas

1. Employment laws in California also allow employees access to certain amenities if they work
night shifts. Specifically, employees who work between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. must have
access to vendors supplying hot food and beverages or facilities to heat food and make
drinks, including a sink with potable water.
