Anyone work the grave shift?

Question

I work overnight and live off of red bulls, expresso shots, etc. Not sure how to manage staying awake, now in a healthy way. With working all night, kids school etc, I only sleep 5 hours on a good day, and it's broken up. Also trying to fit in a better diet during the day. I tend to only eat at night.

Answer

Best thing to do is prepare some energy boosting meals to take yo work with you. I found a good meal would wake me up a bit like steak or chicken with my favourite veggies and mash potato

Answer

Oatmeal helps me a lot. You can add fruit like raisons, dried cranberry,  apples..etc. kicks up the flavor and adds fruit to your diet becomes quite filling. If instant ill make 2 bags. ..i too work overnight 10 to 11 hour shifts. This is going to be difficult to say the least. Good luck

Answer

Try some slow digesting carbs. Things like sweet potatoes, whole oats (like the tubs. Packets are filled with sugar) and brown rice all take your body longest to break down and in turn fuel you for the longest periods of time.

Answer

I don't but I used to make no bake energy balls. Google them there a million ways to do it. That may help a little and it's a yummy healthy snack.

Answer

I work graveyards. Try to take a few naps during the day, especially before work. I sleep right when I get home and wake up to pick my kids up from school, help with homework, cook dinner, ect... When about 7-8pm hits I take a nap. I usually wake up refreshed. Make sure you have a dark room with few disruptions during the day as well.

Answer

Thanks girls, definitely going to see how I can change my diet.
