diet and shift work

[Rockaho]

I work a 12 hr. rotating shift and I usually need something to eat in order to get to sleep when I get home in the mornings. What food would be best to eat before going to bed? Thanks for any advice.

Usually a protein shake before bed works best. You want to avoid as many carbohidrates as possible (turns to fat). Hope this helps.
