How can you acclimate your body to working swing shift?
462581
I have worked swing shift for 9 years now. I work 12 hour shifts and it switches every 2 and 3 days between nights and days. Then when we are drafted for overtime we work 18 hour shifts. You never get used to it. Sometimes you can find someone to shift trade with all the time. Let them work all your midnights and you work all their days or visa versa. It's easier to handle that way. Then switch it every month or so to be fair to each other because some people get shift differential pay for working the night shifts.

'Palming.'To rest and relax your eyes, sit comfortably in front of a table, resting your elbows on a stack of cushions high enough to bring your palms easily to your eyes without stooping forward or looking up. Close your eyes and cover them with your cupped palms to exclude light, avoiding pressure on the sockets. Breathe slowly and evenly, relaxing and imagining deep blackness. Begin by doing this for 10 minutes, two or three times a day. \n\n'Swinging.' Relax and keep the eyes mobile. Stand up and focus on a distant point, swaying gently from side to side. Repeat 100 times daily, blinking as you sway. Blinking cleans and lubricates the eyes, which is especially important if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer. \n\n'Colour day.' You may be asked to have a 'colour day.' Choose a colour and look out for it throughout the day. When you see it, be aware of the colour rather than the form. For example, if it's a red truck, experience the shade of red, not the truck. \n\n'Sunning' Try to do this once a day. It requires a sunny day, or a good desk lamp with an incandescent bulb. The exercise is simple. Close your eyes. Look directly at the sun through \nyour closed eyes. While facing the sun, slowly rotate your head from side to side as far as you can. \nThis gets the sunlight on the peripheral vision, and it helps bring more blood circulation to your neck. Do this for 3 to 5 minutes. It's amazing, even on a cold day, how warm the sun feels on your eyes.\n\nEYE EXERCISE TIPS\n\n- General tips when doing eye exercises Please take off your glasses or contact lenses, you will then feel more comfortable and relaxed. \n \n- When doing the exercises, intensely concentrate on your eyes. Feel them working and coming to life again! \n    \n- Do them on a regular basis, e.g. ideally 3 times a day. The results will be better.

Change your position frequently and sit on a pillow...like a throw pillow.

Start lying flat on your back, arms over your head.  Roll your torso up towards your feet, driving your breath out as you contract your abs as much as you can, starting from the sternum and working your way down to the pubis.  You'll be partway to a seated position.  Keep going into a toe-touch, relaxing your abs as necessary and allowing inhalation (passively -- don't deliberately inhale).  Reverse the process back to starting position. Again, as you relax, allow passive inhalation.\nNow do the opposite: raise your feet and contract your abs from pubis to sternum.  You'll have your feet partway over your head.  Go on ahead over into toes-touching-the-floor over your head, if you can.  As you relax your abs, allow the passive inhalation.  Reverse the process to starting position.  That's one rep.\n\nRepeat.  If you can do ten of these, at a rate of one minute  per rep, you're going to have killer ab tone.\n\nOh, and once you have the concept (which is, let your breathing go into neutral and focus on moving your core), you can do the same type of exercise while sitting in your car (say, at a red light).

Don't over excercise, you'll wear yourself out-\ntry changing it up- go swimming or just walk or if you have some friends that like to excercise ask them to join you or a parent- it can be good bonding time- if you are part of a gym- try some yoga, it's toning and strengthening.\nIf you are still tired, see if maybe certain foods are getting to you, sugary foods and bread can make your system go into a slump making you too tired- try more fruit or vegetables.  If your mom can ask her to get you some Iron - like geritol- personally I take HemaPlex that I get from a natural store- it has alot of other useful vitamins in it.  Also try to have more protein- if you are a vegetarian then have the tofu ...  If you go to the library you can ask the librarian where to find the health books, you can read all about Omega acids and stuff like that that can be useful to you and your family...  Also, sometimes when your tired you just need a quick small walk.\n\nSince you say you are very tired I also urge you to watch out what tim of day you exercise, if it's the middle of the day in very hot weather the sun could just be too much for your body.\n\nDrink plenty of water, sometimes tiredness can stem from not enough water inthe body.  Don't have soda or coffee, the caffiene in those will make you more dehydrated.  Plus thing containing CornSyrup are not really made for the body to break down.  Stay away from diet/fatfree or fake sugar stuff- those are full of harmful chemicals that can also wreak havoc on your body  no matter your age!\n\nTeas like White tea or Green tea can help you with energy as well.  \n\nTry going to bed at a regular time and waking up at a regular time.  "Every half an hour before midnight is more important than any hour after midnight".  Trust me.  But also because there are scientific reasons for it.  The human body actually "repairs" itself at night- I think PBS or anyother medical/health journal at the library or on the net can help you read more about that.  I believe they said your blood and cells are "cleansed" at these crucial hours, especially since you are still young.\n\nLimit the time you spend on the computer to an hour.  Your brain needs real nourishment not just entertainment.\n\nAlso- a book called "eat right for your type" if you know your blood type can point you in the direction of some healthy food for you- if you are eating the right foods then you will notice that your body will not be as tired either.\n\nTalk to your parents.  If this tiredness persists you may want to see a doctor.\nNotice the food you are or have been eating when you feel tired- and let your doctor know about it.\n\nAlso if you must sleep during the day limit it to 20-30 minutes any more than that and it will be harder to sleep at a decent hour at night.\n\nI do wish you the best of luck in this,  sorry I wrote soooo much.

Eat a lot of green to dark green vegetables, and do light tai chi and yoga... light meaning, stay seated and hold your stomach in as tightly as you can then work those muscles without holding your breath. lift your legs slowly while sitting as many times as you can without straining them it may be once or twice but movement will eventually make you feel a little better...see your doctor also

At first, this may sound dumb, but it works. Tap the back of your neck rapidly for a minute or two, like playing a piano, and raise your fingers high after each time you hit. EVen when you start to get tired, you should rather slow down and keep them high than to keep the speed and sacrifice technique. Reason for this is the muscle that controls your fingers is not in your hand, but your forearm. You can actually feel your forearm muscles moving if you place your other hand on it while doing this.

Everyone can tell you put it back in your stance, put it forward in your stance, move back, move forward.....whatever.\nSlow down your swing and start there.  If you have to make slight adjustments from there then you can.  Main thing is to not swing too hard.  Dont try to kill it.  Making good connection is what you want.  Slowing your swing down will help stop your club from moving too much.  Just try it.

Ok, I would normally be ofended by such questions, but there is a perfectly logical answer: Lets see you swing that club with a couple melons hanging inside your shirt. Seriously. Try it. It's incredibly hard. We need to bend out knees and arch our backs in a totally different way, just to get our arms straight.

How can you sleep during the day if you're working?  If you work swingshift or graveyard then, No! -most would sleep during the day.  Kinda looking for something to talk about? ;)*

At home:\n\nlay face up on the floor with your legs straight, together, and just off the floor (wear shoes/boots if your prefer).  Place your hands on your hips and sit up while bringing your knees into your chest.  Lay back down, extend your legs, and keep your feet off the floor.  Put your hands on the floor close to your body and bring your legs up and over your head so that your toes touch the floor above your head.  Keep your legs as straight as possible with feet together.  It should be as if you almost do a backwards summersault.  Your head, shoulders and arms are unmoved but your legs arc 180 degrees from front to back.  Now, swing your legs to their original position while swinging your feet apart to either side and together again.  It is like making a snow angel with your legs in three dimensions.  Bring your feet together and a few inches off the floor below you again.  Next, put your legs straight up in the air and do a sit-up by attempting to touch your toes.  Lower your legs back down until your feet are just off the floor again.  Bring your legs in and curl into a fetal position on your left side (feet on ground).  Do a sit-up while rotating your upper body towards your right side (a sit-up with a twist).  Switch sides, then start from the beginning.  This exercise will get all the muscles that make up the six-pack and will focus on the very hard to develop lower "cans".  This exercise will KILL YOU, and you may need to do conventional ones to get ready for it.\n\nDo it everyday when you wake up and before you go to sleep until you can't do it anymore.  You will have a six-pack in 3-5 weeks.\n\nTang Soo!

when you are setup keep your chin up and feet together.  Then after you swing keep your arms strong and straight.  Then watch your hands hit the floor. Then suck in your stomach and whip your feet down.  \n\n-if you are undercutting(your hands are hitting where your feet began) you need to SIT more!!!!! that is a big problem alot of girls have!...who ever said this isnt true is a LIAR!  Just because they are tumbler doesn't mean they know how to teach it!  I know from personal expierence this is one of the main things that I have to correct all the time.  Just try it you'll see!

You can increase your distance by getting a longer driver, increasing your swing speed, increase your strength, or improve your swing. Working your core muscles help muscles that help with your swing. Imporving your timing on hands, hips and legs should help, too. There are a lot of factors to your swing. Get help from a local pro.

1.   Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.  \n  \n2.   Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.  \n  \n3.   Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.  \n  \n4.   Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).  \n  \n5.   Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.  \n  \n6.   Follow through normally.

Work on a strength conditioning program for both your upper body and your legs also.  Don't lift weights to increase muscle size because that will slow you down.  Lift to increase muscle strength.  There is a difference.\nAnother thing you can do is practice your swing by standing a bat's length away from a wall or a fence.  Then swing the bat at full speed without hitting the wall or fence.  When you get good at this, you can eventually move closer until you are 1/2 bat length away.

Stand on a step on the balls of your feet and your heels hanging over.  Hold on to the handrail for support. Let your heels drop down slowly then lift them up and stand on your toes as high as you can then slowly let your heels down again..  Repeat 15 times, rest for a minute or two, repeat and rest again.  Do two sets a couple of times every day and increase to three or more sets.  Make sure you've had lots to drink so you don't get leg cramps.  And remember to stretch too.  :o)
