But it’s not just a matter of getting sleep. It’s a matter of getting quality sleep, and enough of it. The consequences of getting a poor night’s sleep? Lack of focus, lack of energy, lack of concentration. You should not operate a sweeper without having had proper rest and sleep. Tips for a good night’s sleep:- Create a good sleeping environment. If you work third shift and sleep during the day, use black-out shades on your windows, or wear a sleep mask. A fan or a white noise machine will help keep noises from waking you up.

- Use black out shades or a sleep mask.
