Lot of smart guys here, especially in the area of hormones, so I’ll throw this out there:
For anyone who has to pull shift work, what are your compiled best practices for managing it in a healthy way? I specifically work 5 PM to 3 AM 4 days a week. How would you time eating on such a schedule? What can be done supplementally to counter some of the damage of late night/overnight shift work? Has testosterone made a difference for any of you guys sleep wise? Anything else you can think of to make this type of lifestyle as healthy as possible?
Also, any medical, supplement or nutritional interventions out there to counteract the impacted mood, impaired cognition, anxiety and such that can come from a night or more of impaired/shortened sleep?
Damn it would be nice to sleep an uninterrupted 8 hours straight through again...
