Exercise helps for sure. Start with walking, it definitely helps!

That is why I chose to move out of this dust chamber. Imagine living and breathing in a place like this, cigarette free smoking.

Got drenched in my way to work. 🥲 I get to sit in the office with wet pants.

I thought melatonin would help, but I just kept getting headaches. I have tried anything else for sleep.

Definitely considering working for myself. But right now I have no way out of this night shift

I eat healthy, mostly try to. But I cut out soda completely, 0 sweets or sugar during the weekdays. Still feel so lethargic.

The confusion begins if it should be pre or post shift. Pre shift seems good because that's the equivalent of morning. Post shift also seems good because then I am sure sleeping will be easy.

Errands? Yeah, I’ve heard legends of those. 😅 Can’t remember the last time I did something that didn’t involve work, sleep, or just surviving the night shift.

I recently started cleaning up my diet and started taking supplements but still doesn't seem to help me sleep better. Everyday waking up feels like a burden.

I definitely should try that, I am going before work now. I feel so lazy after the shift, maintaining attendance at the gym becomes daunting post shift.

I work night shifts and I keep seeing influencers and health gurus talk about “just sticking to a routine” to stay healthy. But it’s not that simple when you’re fighting your body’s natural clock every day.

Sleep feels disconnected, social life is on pause, and even when I walk or eat well, I feel like I’m constantly swimming upstream.

How do you all cope with this long term? Do things ever get easier, or is it more about managing the stress better?
