How do you set an intermittent fasting window for night-shift workers (e.g., 10 p.m.–6 a.m.) without worsening sleep or cravings? What is one snack pairing and timing rule you’ve found reliable for nurses on rotating schedules?

Having worked with many night-shift nurses through Thrive Collective, I advise flipping the fasting window to match their wake cycle - start eating when they begin their shift around 10 pm and finish by 2 am, allowing digestion-free sleep during daytime rest. For sustained energy without cravings, I recommend pairing a hard-boiled egg with avocado slices around midnight; the protein-fat combo stabilizes blood sugar, a trick I learned during my own health transformation when battling exhaustion and brain fog.
