sometimes it just can't happen

I read with interest the helpful hints and diary tips your site offers but sometimes it just can't happen. Being a shift worker on a continually rotating roster makes things like keeping a regular bedtime impossible.
There is also difficulty in keeping a regular medication time, however, for me a regular medication time is immediately after breakfast. Avoiding caffeine and nicotine also doesn't happen, yes I am a smoker and have been for over 30 years and I find I can sleep within minutes of drinking a cup of coffee.
This is not a criticism of the helpful hints but is a comment on real life situations. I am certain I am not the only shift worker in the community who finds some things just can't happen.

hi, i also was a night worker and smoke and also drink heaps of coffee and i seemed to have had the same problem that is why i gave up my job and for other reasons (little ones)and i can sleep straight after drinking a coffee but since i had depression i have no orginisation at all so taking the pills was a irregular thing for me. i have only been able to remember lately since the kids have gone away (grandparents) and me living with my sister. i hope you find away to figure it out. Me, myself i have had to do the extreme i hope you dont.
