    I use melatonin, glycine and ashwaganda after a nightsift. I've noticed that I get a better quolity sleep using those after a nightsift. Also I've given up on forcing it. Basicly if I do not sleep, I wont workout or if my sleep is not good I.ll just take it easier.

    Always smart to do something and just dial it down a bit! Rough world out there with these evil night shifts! Keep pushing through 💪🏾

    This was really honest and telling because most people don’t put out there how difficult it is with work stress. I have an intense job that completely drains me, where I have to get up at 4am or even 3:30am to workout! Today I was off but drained, I call it “work hangover “ but I rode ZWIFT 1hr 1/2, then strength training. Not quality but quantity today!

    Awesome job! I definitely feel you. It can be hard, but when you look back on all the mornings you trained, I doubt you will regret any of them 💪🏼 thanks for watching!

    How many hours average do you tend to get of sleep. 💤. And how many hours of training do you do each week buddy 👍👍👍. I work nights and it can be a struggle to get the sleep 🛌 hours in.

    Hey! On my days off I always get 8.5 hours or more. Going into nights I try and take a 2 hour nap prior and then after nights I struggle and usually only get 3-4 hours (if I could I would get much more). My tip would be sleep when you can and for as long as you can and naps are key! I have been averaging about 12 hours of training a week, but I’ve worked my way up to that after many years:)

    What you are doing is EXTREMELY ambitious. Night shift is not really sustainable long term, IMO. Hope you are getting double time or something, but that isn't EMS.

    I agree, I don’t think night shift is suitable for high performance. I’m working on getting straight days but right now just doing what I can 😊 I did want to try and show that it is still possible to stay fit while working nights. Instead of completely giving up on fitness altogether due to the difficult lifestyle. Thanks for watching!
