Hey guys! Looking for some friends who live the difficult night shift life as I do. Please feel free to add me because it's hard for "day" people to understand the journey for those who lead opposite schedules

    Hey, I don't work night shift but I know some people who have them and they struggle with their eating and stuff. What are you finding hardest about the night life?

    The hardest for me about nights is figuring out when to exercise and balancing food through the day so I'm not eating all my calories in one meal

    Do you both work straight nights? I work a typical (for BC and I think for Canada) full time RN rotation so 2 days and 2 nights (0730-1930 then 1930-0730). I often will eat really well on my nights and then come home (or be out and about) after being up all night and make bad food decisions. I am also finding it harder to exercise on my nights now. Night shifts are definitely challenging!

    I work swing 5-11:30pm at the airport so its a really physical job mostly when trying to eat clean at night at work
