What do you eat on night shift?

JagoMoon

Don't tend to work during the night that often but when i do i never know what to be eating.

Tonight for example I had a pasta dish at 8pm a couple of coffees up until 12am then i had a bowl of porridge at 3am and another coffee with a bar. I just feel i could keep eating through the night. It really messes up eating pattern.

Should i just fill myself up before i get too work and try not to eat during the night. Can anyone give any advise? Thanks.

On the first break of a night shift I'd have more of whatever I'd had for dinner earlier that night. Or soup. I make decent soup.
Second break would be fruit and water.

Exact same thing I'd eat dyeing the day except 12 hours later.

Usual breakfast type thing before work, cuppa at eleven, lunch/dinner around two and another cuppa maybe with sandwich/small salad around half four/five..

cup a soup about 9 sandwich about 12 and I'll have cereal or toast before I leave

Drink plenty of water, always helped me on nights. I'd feel really ****ty the nights i forgot.

Night shifts are a disaster for your mental and physical well being. Try and get away from them asap.

I have my breakfast when i get home in the morning. Then after six hours sleep get up and make dinner. I also prepare sandwiches and make soup for the night shift.
One advantage of a night shift is seeing all the miserable faces on Monday morning when you are on your way home:P. Cons... i miss my weekends. Also feeling like a zombie when I wake up in the late afternoon. Thankfully i don't do night shifts that often, though.

Currently still doing a 18 hour shift. I had my dinner at 6pm yesterday, pot noodle around 11pm, and grazing on banana and those Fulfil protein bars. They're actually quite nice.

No no don't do this. Solpadeine should put you to sleep.

I probably eat more when on nights. Dinner before I head out at about 5-6pm. 8pm start, then at work a cereal/chocolate bar and a cup of tea about 11-12pm, something pasta or rice based meal about 4am, and if have time, a bowl of cereal sometime between then and 8am/finish. Tea and toast back at home before bed.
