So I've been 168 pounds for the past 3 years. I plateaued at that weight and was satisfied so didn't really makes a fuss or do anything about it. However, for the past month I've been gaining around 3 pounds a week and official hit 179. My diet is the same, my workout is the same, the only thing that's changed is my job. Instead of working 2-3 night shifts a week I work none now . So my question is, could it be the night shifts had that much of an impact on me? Could it be that the 11 pounds I\ve gained are a result from better/more sleep? Does sleep really have that dramatic of an effect. 11 pounds in a month is no joke!

your brain burn the most calories, without a job youre stress free
so... you gettin fat boi

I actually got promoted, no more night shifts. So...ya

Getting off night shifts helps alot. I lost alot of weight when I worked nights, just due to increased stress and difficulty sleeping. Once I got a m-f 8-5 job I was able to schedule things and really get into a routine which helped alot.

was working in shifts as well. Been living with a pretty strict sleeping pattern before that. Lost 10 pounds in a month when started working night shifts half a year ago, very unhappy and very hard to get some decent sleep.

Now normal life is back and I can get my sleep + workouts back in check. Got a 9-5 now and all is well.

Share schedule. I have 9-5 job, always late. sleep at 3am. take naps during the day. end up going at gym at 1am because its open 24.. someone fix my schedule please....

How do you take naps during the day with a 9-5 job lol.

sleep from 6-9pm like a fail
