Anyone else on here work in the oil field or just have crazy hours on call like me? If so how do you manage hitting the gym, getting the sleep your body requires or just working around it in general. I do my best right now but wanna know if anyone else has these issues and if so how they deal with them. Or do you all have a set schedule and daily routine 365?!?!

Yeah I work in the patch too. I used to work out at 5:30 every morning or else it wouldn't happen. I quit that job cause it sucked!! I took a job for a bit less money but more schedule so I work out in the evenings now.

I hear ya. I'm on call 24/7 pressure testing the rigs. So I have to just find time where I can. Sucks. Sleep when I can too. Sometimes I'll get off work, hit the gym, then goto bed. Then work will call 3-4 hrs after I pass out (sometimes less) and I'll have to go back. I know u grow when u sleep so it kinda screws me I guess. But the money's great as times are hard now so I gotta stick with it.
