How to supervise staff who sleep during working hours?
489032
As a supervisor, you need to first speak with them and let them know you are aware of their sleeping habits on the job.  Find out why this is this the case, give him a warning to let him know this will go in his personnel file and if it keeps happening you will have to let him/her go.

It is a bit too complicated to answer simply. There are various exceptions and in the UK employees can opt out of this regulation in their contracts.\n\nThe basic rights and protections that the Regulations provide are:\n\n    *\n      a limit of an average of 48 hours a week which a worker can be required to work (though workers can choose to work more if they want to).\n    *\n      a limit of an average of 8 hours work in 24 which nightworkers can be required to work.\n    *\n      a right for night workers to receive free health assessments.\n    *\n      a right to 11 hours rest a day.\n    *\n      a right to a day off each week.\n    *\n      a right to an in-work rest break if the working day is longer than 6 hours.\n    *\n      a right to 4 weeks paid leave per year.\n\n\nCurrent position on the opt-out in the UK\n\nAs the opt out is going through a negotiating process in Europe, the UK law remains unchanged on this point and workers are still able to opt-out of the weekly working time limits.  The UK will be given time to implement any changes to legislation and any future developments on this and other Working Time topics will be posted on this website in due course.\n\nMember States discussed a revised proposal from the European Commission at the Employment Council on 2 June.  However there was no agreement on the proposals at this point. \n\n\nFor more details go here:\nhttp://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/employment-legislation/working-time-regs/index.html

Short of amping ones self on caffeine and god knows what else they put in Sobe No Fear (my pick me up of choice). Here's a number of pointers from a registered sleep tech:\n\nEstablish a good routine for you sleep schedule:\nbed at same time, wake at same time sort of business. Don't let weekend get you out of whack.\n\nGet a full 8 hours of sleep. Although, many need somewhat more or less than that based on age and individual differences....8's a good average to start with.\n\nNo caffeine for 6-8 hours prior to bed\n\nDo not work out 1-2 hours prior to bed\n\nNo TV or reading in bed (train to body to only sleep in bed, well and other necessary activities with one's mate)\n\nIf you have difficulty sleeping due to thinking too much about...well anything that keeps you up....things to do etc.  Try to write everything down that you will be doing for the next day before bed so that you won't need to think about it in bed.\n\nIf you are sensitive to noise, try earplugs, or blindfold if having light issues.\n\nStress can always add to the problem, try to relax!  \n\nOK, now the really important stuff...as many mentioned...this could be a health issue. The most common problem (and often undiagnosed) for being tired all the time is obstructive sleep apnea. This is the bread and butter of the sleep field in general. No way I could tell you without a complete history, a couple dozen wires and a few hours, if this is the problem. Go to a sleep lab, they are everywhere, doesn't hurt to have a test run eh. However, here's a few things to red flag ya:\n\nAre you tired all the time...clearly yes\nAre you at all overweight.\nDo you have a 15" neck or larger.\nDo you snore.\nDo you wake up with dry mouth or headaches.\nDo you or anyone in your family have any history of heart problems, particularly Congestive Heart Failure.\nDoes anyone in your family snore or have Obstructive Sleep Apnea.\nDo you get up to go to the bathroom several times a night.\nForgetfullness\nImpotence\nummmm....I'm sure I've left a few things off....anywho...\n\n\nIf anything on this list pops out, and even if they don't for that matter, go have a test at your local sleep lab.\n\nOn a more rare note, there is other sleep disorders that could make you tired all the time....say narcolepsy, insomnia, parasomnias, periodic leg movements, etc.  Everything can be evaluated at a sleep disorders center, generally one doctor referal away. \n\nGood luck!

A typical adult will need an average of 8 hours of sleep to remain healthy. Some may be ok with 6-7 hours, some may need 9-10 hours. Most people will be between 7-9 hours. You should, as a practice of good sleep hygiene, go to bed and wake up at the same time daily. The body's circadian rhythm is naturally set to sleep at night, not only by the effects of sunlight (internal clock in near the optic chiasm an area in which the optic nerves of the eyes cross), but also by the varying core temperature of the body. The core body temp drops during the afternoon, which is why most people get a little tired after lunch and some cultures actually observe naps during that time. Then the core body temp starts plummeting after 7PM and hits the lowest around 3AM which is when you will be the most tired naturally, even if you are a night worker (which is why many shift workers suffer poor sleep). People who "claim" that 4 hours is enough for them are kidding themselves, the body simply can't recoup in that short of time and many people sleeping that little actually have a sleep disorder that keeps them from getting good sleep. Lack of good sleep and sleep deprivation can lead to a host of very bad things health wise up to and including death. Feel free to look over my previous sleep related question for the full dose of sleep disorders, diagnosis, and treatments. \n\nPersonally, I like about 7 1/2 hours of sleep; I go to bed between 9:30 and 11:00 most nights and wake up between 5:30AM and 8AM depending on weekday vs weekend.\n\nSleep tight ;)

I would like to work from 7 to 3 or 4 because it would leave me with a lot of daylight hours.  Not really possible in my profession.

Normally I'd say speak to a doctor. It sounds like delayed sleep phase syndrome and melatonin may be useful for it. Alternatively, you might want to look for a job whose hours suit you ie night shift.

I work night shift (7pm-7am).  The most tiring time is between 03:00-05:00.  Then you are close to the start of the day.  You cannot sleep...once you sleep you will want to fall asleep.  Your body will adjust to the daylight and act as if you nothing has happened.  You will be tired the rest of the day and should get some sleep as soon as you can.  You will probably end up sleeping close to 12-14 hours to make up for lack of sleep.

None, teh facility is privately funded allowing them to have your child removed from their faciility at their discretion.  Schoolds have stricter regualtions.  Talk to his provider about allowing him to do something quiet while the others nap or simply to lay down and be quiet.  Afterall you are paying them to deal with him for the day nto simply when he is behacing...it snto like hes biting chidlren.  he just doesnt wanna sleep.  Find a new care provider if necessary!  Most of them deal with kids who wont nap instead of calling mom to pick them up.  (They should credit you for the days you had to get your child too.)

To get a good answer i belive you should mention the problems you are facing, anyways even i am working in a BPO since last 14 months in a night shift so i can understand what sort of problems you must be facing.\n\nQ Problem with sleep, i am sure you won't be able to sleep properly\nA For this you can do one thing, try to take a bath and have food before you go to bed, that provide you a good sleep.\n\nQ Problem with health, like regular pain in legs and shoulders?\nA For this problem you can just cope out with a very good way, go ahead and start having a very good meal i.e., Regularly drink atleast 2 glases of fruit juice, Start eating curd once with breakfast or luch.\n\nQ Mental stress some times when alone?\nA I am sure you must be getting two days off, so utilize them properly go ahead and start moving to morning walk and have heathy excercise on these two holidays every week. This will improve your health and ofcourse with leave you with good mental condition.\n\nOne more thing i would like to add, you these problems are getting serious try to get a day shift for some time and if you think that suits you go for it, i know you gonna get paid bit less in day shift but of course it will help you in long run. I can suggest you some day shifts:-\na) Try some B2B (business to business) campaign for UK, that would be 2:30 pm to 10:30 pm\nb) Try getting a job in B2C (Business to customer) campaing for Australia that would be aproximately 10:30 Am to 6:30 Pm.\n\nIf you have any other question feel free to write me at mohitmadaan@gmail.com i will try my best to help you.

They get lots of sleep. The coaches keep them on curfews and allow only certain activities during the day.

You might be not getting a good sleep at night or you have a boring job.

Well, if I were your co-worker, this is what you would do:\n\n1.  Eat smelly, crunchy food at your desk.\n2.  Talk with your mouth full.\n3.  Sniff, cough, or clear your throat repeatedly.\n4.  Be obsessive/compulsive.\n5.  Tape everything to your desk because the cleaning people "are always moving things around."\n6.  Before you leave at night, stand at the door staring at your desk for precisely 30 seconds.
