Our shifts start at 7:30 (Day/Night) and end 12 hours and 15 minutes later 7:45am/pm. How many nights in a row is ideal and followed by how many days off. Is it better to do all you nights over 2 and half weeks interspersed with days off before returning to day shift or is the 2days followed by 2nights followed by four or so days off better. All the studies I am finding are ususally studies of men doing 8 hour shift, usually about 5 shifts in a row and doing 2 to 4 weeks of nights and rotating to days then evenings. I am particularly interested in studies involving women and the implications on family,reproductive health, and sleep deprivation.

I have tried all the recommendations I can find, to reset my cycle,but find that I am more awake from 5:30 am on than I am through the previous eight hours. I have always awakened around 5:30 since I was about 6. I believe that I cannot reset my Circadian reset. Is this possible? I have been on straight nights for the last three months.
