    I work 11p to 7am. I calculate as "before work", "At work", "After work" once I get home at 8am I start the next day.

    Hi. I work overnights so also struggled with this at first. What I did was made 12am to 12am the "day". Even if my shift laps into the next day. I did this so that it would always be consitent and matched up with my fitbit.

    I work 7P-7A three nights a week (here right now). I just keep the midnight to midnight schedule (same with my fitbit steps) and have changed the meal headings to midnight to 6A, 6A to noon, noon to 6P, 6P to midnight. I log the same on my days off, keeping it simple works for me.
  • I know this is off topic but I am also wondering when works best to work out? I feel like I never have any energy and I can never figure out if it is better to sleep in the AM or PM. I have been on this shift for 2 years now.. I still can not figure it out. <~~~ Zombie lol
