Need advice on sleep schedule for back-to-back dredge days
Just started a new contract with 10-hour days, and my sleep is all over the place. Waking up tired every morning even after 7 hours in bed. What routines help you guys reset after long shifts? Specifically looking for tips beyond just caffeine.

@the_gray has a point about the dark, but I found that reading a physical book under a dim lamp works better for me. Last week I tried just sitting there and my mind raced through next day's cargo lists. Now I keep a boring paperback on the nightstand, something about tree identification. Puts me out in twenty minutes.

Forget the caffeine. Shut down all screens an hour before bed and just sit in the dark. Lets your brain actually switch off.
