    Yes...I have been on the night shift for five years. I am trying to motivate myself to walk more starting today. I just started back on MFP.

    You can do it. Log in everyday after a while it's just habit

    I work 10pm-6am. And just struggle daily with getting a sleep and reg life schedule. But I'm working on being disciplined enough to stay up till 1 or 2 and then sleep till 8 or 9. I go to the gym after work. It does give me a lot of energy at first but then I crash out soon after. My it works out.

    I worked 3 12s on night shifts years ago. Changed jobs and went to second shift. Hated it. Transferred and went to first shift and loved it! But now I'm back on thirds. I work 11pm to 7am and it's been hard changing shifts and trying to keep a routine down.

    Anyone work or live on a midnight schedule? I need friends! Everyone in my life lives on a day schedule and it's getting quite depressing, along with all my coworkers eating pizza and cake and fast food all night long! In need of encouraging friends

    I have worked 11pm-7am for a decade now. At one point I was working 7pm-7am. Everyone at my job always orders food too, so I make sure to pack a lunch and take it with me every night. It usually completely deters me from eating badly!

    Tuesday-Saturday Morning

    2000-2130 2nd Workout time/Wife time/Study Time

    You can do it. it sucks at first but once you get going you cant be stopped. Just listen to your body in those times you may get sick or need healing time. But all in all its "Mind over Matter"!!! B)

    Yes. I totally feel your pain. I work 4pm to 4:30am and all of my co-workers eat out every single night. And of course the only thing available that late is pizza and fast food.

    You guys should really try keto. This will help you out when it comes to co workers bringing in those types of foods. I been doing it for a while. Makes it very easy to resist those temptations.

    I'm always looking for like minded night owls! I work 4pm to 230am so eating right and exercising is a struggle. So I feel you're pain.

    Feel free to add me. I work night retail. Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by junk food.

    I am going stir crazy. I don't have a job but my hours are getting up at 3pm or 4pm and then going to bed at 7:30am-8am. Everyone else goes to sleep at 10pm and my fiance goes to sleep at 1am. I been looking for work. I have been sleeping these hours off and on for 8 years. I have tried the 24/7 stay up to get back to days. I then went to sleep at 10pm and got up at like 6am. Then started going to bed later and later in the morning..

    I'm a retired nurse but have never been a day shift person anyway so I've kept my night shift hours too and am here.
