    So what is the secret of success for all you night shifters? I have struggle for years with trying to regulate my intake. It seems as if I'm up 24 hours and eat around the clock. Any ideas? Currently I reset my clock at 4pm when I have my first "meal" of my day.

    Working double shift tomorrow, need to bring healthy food so I don't cave in to the goodies from the holidays that people keep bringing.

    you are so right, if left to my own devices I'll eat whatever crap (graham crackers and peanut butter anyone) that is available. I'm heading out for a rare day shift so will bring my own food.

    Trauma 2 Surgical and trauma ICU Night RN. Easy to keep the weight managed I sleep most of the day, wake up in time for dinner, busy at work, home and then sleep. Don't know why so many struggle I lost a bunch of weight working nights because the time I'm awake is way less than a day schedule!

    @hekla90 I think you are the only night shift person to sleep more not less LOL! A lot of us worked nights with kids so essentially worked around the clock. And now as I get older, I don't sleep as well during the day, I'm lucky if I get six hours.

    I feel like most of the people I work with we sleep a lot! But most of us don't have kids. I don't think people with kids ever get a break or sleep regardless of sleep- part of why I'll probably never have them! I actually sleep better during the day than I did at night, I'm definitely a night owl though.

    Psych RN here

    Our psych nurses/ward send all the violent patients to the med/surg floor

    Where I work we only have psych patients, no med surg to send them to.
