Are there any supplements/diet changes I should make to accommodate for and overnight schedule?
wicket_wm asked:
I work overnights, and sleep from about noon until 8pm. I usually don’t get out much in the daytime past 10am at the latest. I have been on this schedule for a year now, and though I have had some difficulties it has worked out overall. Lately, however, I seem to have started really dragging myself through the day(night) and I find I am getting sick a lot more often. I am now quite pale and though I do see some sun I know it isn’t enough. I understand that sunlight is important to your overall heath but I just don’t have the time or energy to get out there during the full sun hours. I also don’t know exactly what this sleep schedule does, but I do know I don’t sleep as well during the day as I used to at night. Is there some sort of diet changes or supplements I can take to somewhat alleviate the effects of this lifestyle and make it a little less harsh on my body? Or perhaps is there any changes people who live in regions where (in parts of the year) there is little or no sun?
