== Eat Well ==
With today’s hectic work and family life schedules, it can be difficult to maintain healthful eating habits while working shifts. Night shift workers, in particular, struggle with balancing healthy meals, sleep and daily activities.

Eating a well-balanced diet can help night shift workers stay alert during their shifts and feel more rested upon returning home. It is especially important to eat enough protein and fruits and vegetables.

Limiting caffeine can also improve alertness for shift workers. A small amount of caffeine can boost energy levels, but consuming too much caffeine may disrupt sleep and cause a later crash. It is also important to drink plenty of water. Mild dehydration can amplify fatigue and impair concentration.
