There really is no such thing as a “normal” work day anymore, and shifts are all over the place. This is fine for most people, as long as they are working the same shift all the time. But, for most people who do shift work, they are working various shifts, and their bodies never get a chance to get used to one shift before going into the next. This can lead to many problems, including trouble sleeping.

When you go to bed at night, are you kept awake because you can’t hold your legs still? Does your spouse complain that you are always kicking him or her at night? If you answered “yes” to these questions, it may be that you have sleepless leg syndrome, also known as restless legs syndrome. This is not exactly a painful condition, but it is incredibly annoying, and it can keep you from getting the sleep you need, which can lead to a lot of other problems.
