Answer #1

That’s completely normal, especially when working such a late shift. When I was younger, I worked at a Tim Horton’s until 11 PM and I literally used to dream that I was working … I never got a break, and I used to wake up exhausted!

If you can, try to do some things to alter your busy mind before going to bed. Take a relaxing bath, meditate, read a book … do anything that you find relaxing, even if it’s just for half an hour. It really does help.

Answer #2

I don’t work but that happens to me when I stay up late studying. I usually dream about giving my tests too and then I have a restless sleep and wake up more exhausted. It’s normal I guess but my friends told me that doing breathing exercises ( just calming and relaxing yourself) before going to sleep helps a lot..

Answer #3
