Seeking help from a mental health professional can provide valuable coping strategies, including cognitive-behavioural techniques to manage negative thoughts, stress-reduction methods tailored to your lifestyle, or even medication if necessary. Many workplaces offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that provide free or low-cost counselling sessions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b37c0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b37c0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>8.

Workers and employers should aim for gradual transitions between shifts, moving clockwise (e.g., morning to afternoon to night) rather than abruptly reversing schedules. This approach is more compatible with the body\u2019s natural circadian rhythm and reduces the physical toll of adjusting to new routines.
