How Can I Stay Healthy Working Night Shift_
Naturally, mammals, especially humans, must sleep during night time. However, this is not the case for people who do their jobs at night. Most night shift jobs are doctors, fast food workers, police, nurses, security guards, and many more. If you are one of these courageous people, this article and CBD tea is for you.

Working at night sucks. Not only do you have to deal with being tired, but living a healthy lifestyle is also harder to achieve. You are more likely to eat unhealthily and at random times, skip exercise, and, most importantly,…be deprived of sleep.

Night shift workers need a little extra help to stay healthy and energized on the job. Keep reading for tips! Click To Tweet

Studies show that people who work at night are more at risk of getting health problems than those who work in the day time. But don’t worry, there are things you can do to help lessen these risks.

Keep reading to learn how you can maintain your well-being and avoid diseases even if you are working the night shift.

Eat a Balanced Diet


Having a balanced diet is not enough to stay healthy. You have to eat at the correct intervals as well and not skip meals. This is easier said than done.

This will help you control your body clock.

Your diet should consist of three main meals a day, with snacks in between. Try eating breakfast as soon as you get back, lunch when you wake up, and dinner before you go to work.

Snack On High Protein Foods

Try to eat high protein foods like eggs, peanut butter on crackers, beans, etc. — foods that keep you alert and energetic.

Skip the sweets as their energy is short-lived.

Also, if you can, avoid foods that are high in iron at night. The problem is that high protein foods tend to have a lot of iron as well. In this case, timing and moderation are key.

Foods high in iron can disrupt the liver’s circadian rhythm, which might throw your clock out of whack.

Don’t Skip Meals


Food is energy! Skipping meals will only make your metabolism slow and leave you feeling tired and drained.

Having regular, healthy meals will make you feel energetic throughout the day and improve your metabolism.

Limit Alcohol and Caffeine

Avoid drinking any alcohol-based beverages before bed. Although alcoholic drinks might help you fall asleep, it doesn’t last.

It will wear off in 2 – 3 hours, causing sleep disturbance.

Also, avoid coffee or other caffeinated drinks. Those drinks can interfere with sleep as well.

Instead, walk around or exercise when you start feeling sleepy. Physical activity keeps you awake and is much healthier. 

Get a Good Rest Every Night


Lack of sleep is not good for anyone’s health. So catch some Zzzz!

Keep the temperature in your bedroom cool and comfortable. Also, darken your room with blackout curtains or wear a sleeping mask. The eyes are sensitive to light even when the eyes are closed, preventing you from getting quality sleep.

You can also block out daytime noises. Use comfortable sponge earplugs if needed.

Avoid taking sleeping pills and other sedatives for an extended time. They can interfere with normal sleep patterns. This also includes cold and allergy medications. Some can make your tired, while others could have a simulate effect. 

Instead, try CBD. CBD comes in a variety of forms that can help you relax and relieve anxiety. What’s more, it can even help you stay focused on your tasks if you consume it during the day, recent research suggests.

The great thing about Hippi Tea is that it comes in a daytime and nighttime version which is perfect for night shift workers.

Daydreamer Black CBD Tea

Hippi Tea Daydreamer is the perfect way to start your day. This caffeinated black tea tastes great with honey and lemon or your favorite sweetener (we used Splenda).

It tastes fantastic over ice too! This CBD tea did a great job at keeping us alert and awake.

Mellow Herbal CBD Tea

To us, ‘Daydreamer’ had more of a classic tea flavor, whereas Hippi Tea Mellow reminded us of a wassail spice blend that goes great in tea, cider, or mulled wine. It’s one of those flavors that reminds you of the holiday season with flavors of cinnamon.

I could see this herbal tea being perfect for sipping on a cold winter night right before bed.

CBD Tea Twin Pack

Get in Some Exercise

Exercise when you can. Instead of sitting down, try moving around.

Choose the stairs over the elevator. Do some squats or stretch during breaks—anything to keep the blood flowing.

Take Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency is remarkably common among night shift workers and is linked to a lot of health risks, including several kinds of cancers. So pop some to fill in any deficiency and diet gaps. 

Once you master these tips, your body will thank you.  Stay healthy!

  8. I have tried CBD in capsule and liquid form.I broke my ankle a couple of years ago and developed arthritis in it as a result.The CBD was a great alternative to prescription painkillers. I usually dim the lights and read to fall asleep…it usually does the trick.

  9. I have tried so many different things, due to stress and life circumstanes chaninging I can not get my sleep schedule set. It really helps to stick with a routine and get yourself and your mind and body unwound and prepared as you get ready for bed. Not tv or phones, fans help for me.

  11. I love CBD products, I even have my whole family including Grandma using at least one kind of CBD product daily! Usually at night to get to sleep I relax and put down the cell phone and other electronics, except maybe I’ll watch a movie, and have a cup of Sleepytime tea, I can’t wait to try CBD tea now that I know about it!!

  13. I am a huge supporter of CBD and a big fan. I’ve never heard of or seen this product before but I am super interested! I would love to give these a try. I don’t usually have any troubles waking up or falling asleep but CBD had all sorts of benefits. Thanks for sharing!

  15. I have never tried any CBD products before but am very open to trying as I have heard nothing but wonderful things! My best suggestion to help with sleep time is to limit screen time or the hour before bed!

    Reply

  21. I’ve tried edibles, oils, and creams! I love them at first because they seem to work great for my panic attacks and sleep problems. However, they stop working after a couple of days. It’s like my body gets used to it really quickly. I’m crossing my fingers that this tea won’t do that…if I win!

  23. i dont have any tricks to fall asleep any faster or wake up any better. but, i do feel as though i sleep better with a well balanced diet way less fitfull.

    Reply

  24. Interesting. I didn’t know it could be consumed in a tea. Makes sense though! I’m currently trying a CBD oil capsule. I’m about 5 days in. So I’ve yet to see or maybe I should be feeling some change. I have trouble sleeping and staying asleep. Stress has got my mind going! But hope that changes soon.

  25. I have tried melatonin with no success. I occasionally will try a glass of warm milk just before bedtime with mixed help. I have never tried cbc and did not know if was sold in a tea form.

    Reply

  26. I take Melatonin to fall asleep nightly. As for staying awake I try to follow a pretty regular schedule and fit in some exercise including farm chores so I usually have enough energy to complete a day. I have tired CBD a couple times for pain/ inflamation and it helps.

  27. This tea sounds wonderful. Those are some great tips for working the night shift. I could have used these tips when I worked the night shift decades ago. I hated it. I became obsessed with sleep.

    Reply

  30. Considering everything going on I usually still sleep pretty good. Bout the hardest thing for me is going to bed on an empty stomach. Waking up I just take some caffeine and I’m usually ok.

    Reply

  34. I have always wanted to try CBD products. I sometimes have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. I do try to make sure I drink enough water during the day and have a snack before bedtime, sometimes that helps with sleep.
