I did Nights for about 7 years and it does wreck you. In summer it's worse it's hot and outside a lot of noise...so i had to use ear plugs. this was a reason why i got my own weights so i could workout when i wanted. it's not healthy
seriously lower or destroy your progress at the gym, and your overall health.i'm a night worker since 2007, and during off day or holiday i stayed on a night work sleeping schema most of the time.the last three week i'm on a normal sleep/working cycle, can take regular nap, and full night of sleep and it's like a rebirth.i can't stand to go to the gym, insane pump, strenght comes back, and despite i'm eating more i'm losing fat, every morning i wake up with a feeling of deep rest and fullness in my muscle.it's like my 20's are back.any night worker here ?
Been working shift work my whole working career. 12 hour shifts 2 days, 2 nights then 5 days off. 3 days, 2 nights then 4 days off you just learn how to deal with it. My first day off after night shift i get up by noon and head to the gym gotta break the night shift mode asap. Very tired by bed time so it works for me.
Fortunately not. Being up all night would fuck my life.
past 5 weeks ive done 12hr nights, 7 days a week,,,, your never going to grow or progress, you can tread water tho, which will do for nowi picked a great time to come off gear too!, made it doubly hard, havnt missed a session yet tho
needless to say, im going back on the gear a month earlier than planned,,,, im aching like fuck... need the money tho so cant turn the hrs down
I worked the night shift and swing shifts for 28 years. One thing I feel strongly about is that it's not healthy. Being awake all night isn't natural. I found training before the night shift was the best solution. Training when you got home from a night shift left me with no energy. Then the adrenaline from working out interfered with sleep.
