Creatures of the night- mind take yur vitamin D...its widely believed that most folk in the uk are vitamin D defficient & almost definately night workers since we rarely see daylight even when it does appear.vitamins are controversial but i firmly believe shift workers need them as the body is put under extra stresses.
Another tip for staying alert on a night shift-go to the gym before.a good metabolically challenging all body workout about 45 minutes to an hour will raise yur metabolism for 14 hrs afterwards so instead of slumping & fighting sleep you'll feel alert & youll want to fuel up with quality grub instead o Ginsters.by the time the shift ends you're fully fuelled & ready to repair.
Stay on yur feet as much as possible during a night shift & try to best trick yur body into thinking it's day time,im sat in a control tower for 13 hour night shifts,i cant leave the building except to piss,i wont sit for any longer than 20 minutes at a time,i prefer to keep all the lights on to simulate the day but my colleagues tend to go dark & put on the heating which i feel is perfect for feeling dozy.
Always make sure you repay the sleep debt built up over the shifts,even if it means having 11 hours kip on 1 of yur days off,thats my excuse today
