Night shift

[doxaholic 252]

Anyone out there have the ds or wls that works the night shift? Is there any differences for you versus someone that works during the day. I have not had it yet but i have noticed that im usually low on Vitamin D and now they tell me copper too. Just curious with different eating times and sleeping times how that may affect things lol. Of course im probably overthinking things again. Lol

I was bad low with Vitamin d. I read that a lot of obese people are.

I work nights and my Doc said Vitamin D was extremely low.

Most people are low on Vitamin D whether or not they are obese. Most do not spend enough time outdoors in sunlight so need supplements to not be low.

Yeah I work the night shift and I take Vitamin D every morning, as my levels were low (as it seems is has been for most of us night owls). As for how it affects anything else, it pretty much doesn't. My eating schedule is what it is, I take my supplements when I'm supposed to, and just try to squeeze as much Protein and Water into my day as I can. I think it's actually easier during the night shift, because there is no prescribed "time" where everyone goes for lunch, and I don't deal with the social aspects of that. I can do my own thing.

When I work the night shift the biggest problem I have had is freezing. I used to enjoy 65 Degrees and now I freeze at anything below about 80. 6 month out and it is getting a little bit better. Have also had some problems with mild muscle cramping in my legs and chest. Guess I need some more potassium. Since I switched to Bari Life complete Vitamins it has gotten a lot better.

Aren't you supposed to eat your meals at night if you are doing a night shift as you would during the day?? I used to do night shifts and will probably do a couple in the near future, too. I was planning on taking out my food and Proteins at night the way I would during the day.
