Thanks for doing this for us night shift workers. We are always forgotten.

I work a graveyard shift. Ketovore, IF18/6. Eating window 12am-6am. I use sleep masks, blue light sunglasses, blacked-out bedroom window, CBD oil, etc. I wake up at 2pm and have my coffee outside on my deck to get some sun light and vitamin D. Thank you for what you doing, dude. You help more people than you realize.

I've worked 12 hour Nightshifts for the last 7 years. What I have found that works for me, as stated in the video, is that I just flipped my eating habits etc. So get good sleep in the daytime, eat between 19:00 and 2300(latest) and then fast until I start the next Nightshift (19:00).
It enabled my body to have a flipped circadian rhythm and also encorporate 4 or 5 19 to 20 hours fasts a week
It has actually helped me lose 35lb and have erased previous health issues that I had. I have never felt healthier in my life.

As a night shift worker, you cant imagine how gratefuk i am for this video. Thank you so much!!

I have been working fulltime nightshifts for 9 years. This video is spot on. The only thing i do diffrent is my mealtiming. I only eat when i wake up in the afternoon and a small meal before i go to sleep in the morning. If i dont eat before sleep i find it a bit hard to fall asleep but if i eat to much my sleep quality is also bad.

Also i take magnesium, zinc and melatonin before going to sleep.

So grateful for this. I'm a truck driver and I work 10pm-10am and I always have to guess and try to adjust information to my schedule. This is really helpful. THANK YOU!

Dude, thanks for making a video for us 3rd shifters. Watched your last one and was trying to think how I'd apply it to my schedule, but now you covered it. Love your stuff man, keep up the great work!

[candacebenford]

Love this. Been really waiting for someone to talk about this for night shifters. Thank you so much!

[OswaldDigestiveClinic]

Thank you so much for sharing this! There is a significant portion of the population that will benefit from this information!

[cassandrasan]

Thank you for including us. We are such a neglected group. I never eat my whole night shift. I stay on my normal daytime fasting/eating window.

[optimalape]

I work 9pm-5am Monday through Friday, and have been in the bad habit of switching right back to a normal schedule on the weekend, and even staying up 24hrs the Monday the work week begins. I find that my problem is that it's so quiet and boring and dark at night, it's hard to stay awake on the weekend. But leveraging Melatonin, maybe exercising, and utilizing light might be the way to go. This is priceless info for me, and I appreciate you taking the time to put it out there.

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been trying to find material on fasting for us night shifters.

[storyseeress]

I’ve been completely lost trying to figure this out for myself. Thank you so much for this much-needed guidance! 🙌🏽

[TheVGinia]

Thank you! That thanking night shifters went directly to my heart!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[adamclancy]

Lots of love from night shifter workers! Thank you Mike!!

[jodrew]

Thank you for this. Your vlog post is an extremely necessary guide for those workers who call the graveyard shift their normal.

[johnj]

Now you tell me! Retired now, but shift work @35 yrs :) Thanks for the video! Always great info.

[hmuphilly]

Security Officer here. yeah night shift is very very brutal and I did something so stupid when I first started

Drinking coffee right before bed.

[sabatounsi]

Thank you so so so much for this intresting video !

Thank you for this video. Like yes, I know waking up early is healthy. Rich people will say join the 5am club or whatever to be successful. What I hear is you need the privilege of a 9-5 to even get started. There are SO many people who work other hours and I'm so grateful you are actually taking us into consideration. Fitness trainers always give me cookie cutter advice to wake up at 6 am and go to the gym. But if i don't get home before 4am, that advice really doesn't work.
