    I work 1900 - 0330 for each of my shifts....to keep things simple, I too log everything midnight to midnight. Ex. I take break around 0030 while at work and always log this as breakfast.

    I log from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed - regardless of how it works out on the clock. I tend to sleep til noon and be awake til 3 or 4am. I've found that it is just easier for me to log awake time as a day vs going from midnight to midnight or whatever.

    I didn't get up until 1pm today and it is now 2am and I'm still awake. I started when I woke up and will close out today when I go to bed. Since this is technically "my day".

    I work 7pm til 7am. I stay on a regular eating schedule. I eat breakfast when I get home in the morning, I eat dinner when I get up in the afternoon before work. I track my food breakfast til the next breakfast.

    I usually eat 2 or 3 meals during the night when I'm working and I workout before and after work.

    Whatever you choose to do, good luck.
