I applied for a job in Minnesota that is scheduled from 10:30 pm to 7:30 am, Monday through Friday. What time do you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

My dad taught me a wonderful concept. Eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired, fly when they tell me. It's fairly intuitive. 1st post and all. 
I once worked a shift where we could NOT eat during our 12hr shift, with 1hr shift change on both sides...and the DFAC only opened 30 minutes prior to and 1hr after shift change...hmmmm, what to do? |

I've been working 1900-0500 for 14 years. I eat dinner around 1700, have lunch around 0100, maybe a snack around 0400. I'm not a big breakfast person, but if I'm hungry when I get off work, I'll grab a biscuit on the way home. How the hell did you do that for 14 years? I have been on night shift on every deployment, for most of the time, so about 8 to 10 months out of the year, and I start missing the sun after awhile. Add to that the inconvenience of everything being closed when I am awake, so I have to get up early or stay up late if I need to go to the PX or Finance or whatever. Of course, that might be a little different in the states where you have 24 hour Wal-Mart and such... |

My shift is 10:30 to 7:00, with a ½ hr. lunch.
I go to bed around 2:00 pm and the alarm goes off at 9:00. I just got done eating breakfast. Waffles and sausages. I'll have a sandwich at 3:30 am and something light to snack on when I get home about 7:30. I'll eat dinner/lunch again between 11:00 and 12:00. The most important thing is find a routine that works for you and stick to it. Unplug the telephone if you have to. You can't get the rest you need if you're jumping up answering the phone all the time because family can't get it through their thick skulls you now have different hours from everyone else. Same with answering the door bell. You do not have to answer either just because someone is there. |

I work 2100-0700, have done so for years.
Schedule is reverse of normal schedule: I eat 'breakfast' with my family at night (usually a dinner entree), normal lunch at 0100, and have a yogurt/granola light "dinner" around 0730-0800. It's a good schedule...can sleep when kids are at school, still get most of the evening with my family. |

I work 2200-0630. I typically stay up until around 0900 when I get home, then sleep for five or six hours. Get up, take care of daytime things that need to be done, eat "dinner," then take a nap from 1900-2100 or so. I eat lunch at work around 0300-0400, and then grab something light when I get home.
What part of MN? |

Some folks work their shift at the end of their "day", and others at the beginning. I used to work 2100-0700. I would wake up around 2000 and stay up for a bit after I got home (though I did this to go to school in the day time). At what times you eat will be dictated by the time you awake. |
I work 9:pm- 7:am. I eat my "breakfast food"when I get up around 5:pm. I like to eat fruits and cereals on an empty stomach. Otherwise I eat on shift at about 1-2:am and then again at about 4:am I have a snack. I usually eat something meaty and fatty before bed at about 8:30am or so. My biggest issue so far is keeping the coffee headaches away on my days off if I forget to drink coffee late in the day  .

You get off at 0730. Come home and do some activities and or eat "dinner" which will be breakfast. Stay up and get stuff done you want to do (You don't go to bed as soon as you get off work at 3pm on a normal job do you?). Then about 10 or 11 am go to bed. Sleep until 6 or 7. Get up and have breakfast (dinner) with fam. watch some tv etc. then go to work. Eat lunch at around 1or2am.

| Back when I worked third shift I ate when I woke up(4pm), before I left for work(11pm), and breakfast at the end of my shift(7am). Instead of allowing us a "lunch break" midway through the shift they gave us a half hour at the end of the shift to eat breakfast. |
| I'm part of a chronically understaffed grocery night crew. I eat a normal dinner around 6-7 PM, an hour or two after I get up. Have an energy/caffeine snack at midnight. Lunch at 3:30 AM during our break. Breakfast anywhere between 6:30 - 9:00 depending on when I get home, right before I go to bed. |
| When I first started in the mines I worked midnight to 8:00 but I had to leave my house around 10:15 to get to work and get into my mining clothes and most of the time I didn't actually get off work until 10:00 AM so I usually got home around noon. I would eat something when I got up in the evening, usually around 7:30 and then I would eat at work around 5:00 AM. God I hated that shit. |
