Day sleep after night shift: a darker-room checklist

Sleeping in daylight after a night shift is hard work for the body clock. A darker, quieter room helps. Here’s a simple checklist.

Block the light

• Blackout curtains or blinds, with gaps taped or covered
• A contoured sleep mask for 100% blackout around the eyes
• Cover standby lights and chargers

Quiet the room

• Earplugs or a fan for steady background sound
• Phone on do-not-disturb, with a note on the door if you share a home

Keep a routine

Wind down the same way after each shift: a light snack, a cool room, mask on. Consistency helps day sleep feel more natural.

Shift workers tell us the Pure Rest mask stays on all day — black or grey, gift-boxed, free AU shipping.
