Working Night Shifts?!?

I was just hired on nights 4 on 4 off and I am wondering how I can manage eating my meals for those working nights? (11pm-7am)
Does anyone else work nights?
Any advice, tips or suggestions?

 

I worked night shifts for 8 years. I worked 6pm-6am. I treated my wake up time as my meal one and went from there.

 

wow! 6-6, thats tough.. You basically had no life I assume.. I guess its the day before i'm more worried about because I won't have any meals for the first night if I eat regular during the day.

 

Won't you be sleeping most of it? Or are you planning to stay up 24 hours that day?

 

Well the first night shift I will be up early enough cause I do have a 1.5yr old and I will most likely nap in the late afternoon before work when my son goes down to sleep so I will be up in the day. I guess I'll just figure it out. Maybe I'll eat half my meals and save the other half for my night shift for the first night.

awesome Ileen, thank you! I will go have a look right now

 

It may help us help you if you write down your work and non-work days in hours. This way, we know when you are awake and when you are asleep.

 

I will get back to you on this once I have a reg routine established. I will try and figure something out and see how it goes.
