Quick answer

Night-shift fasting should be built around your sleep block, not the clock everyone else uses.

Step by step

01 Anchor the fast around your main sleep.
02 Plan food before the shift.
03 Track energy and sleep quality.

The longer answer

Choose one eating window that fits your wake time and work demands. Keep the language practical because shift workers have different rhythms.

Tip

Your schedule is real; the fasting plan should respect it.

Common mistake

Copying a 9-to-5 fasting window for night shift.
