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

    I work 2nd shift but I am mostly up during the night. Once I get home at midnight, that is mostly when my day begins (watching tv etc). I had plenty of jobs that I had to work 3rd shift and it is really hard to not snack before bed and even exercise when its dark outside lol :)

    I work at a hotel...I've been pushing for the day or evening shifts just to help be more on track.

    I work on a rota, so i will be on nights about 1 week of the month. This month i have two sets (10pm-8am) monday-friday - my first set starting tomorrow!

    Feel free to add me - and i would appreciate any help regarding food on nights! I generally end up grazing all the way through on biscuits or crisps, so i'm trying to think of other things...

    I'm working 12 hour nights over the weekends during in the summer. I had worked full-time 12 hr nights for years up until last summer when a neck injury changed the path of my career. In September I will be teaching. So if you are open to someone who understands, but may not be with you on this for long (the night shifts, not the weight loss journey, I will be here for a while on that one), and you can handle seeing the cake and fast food in my diary, feel free to add me.

    I work from 5pm-5am Monday-Thursday. My days and nights are always mixed up. I am used to the struggles of night shift! Feel free to add me. :)
