Humanity. Night shifters. Whatever. โ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธโ˜•๏ธโ โ € โ โ € My favourite late-night coffee story: One coworker brought in a large Americano with extra espresso shots. Another coworker brought in a regular coffee. โ โ € โ โ € They happened to be from the same coffee shop. โ โ € โ โ € You know how this ends... the drinks got mixed up somehow at work and the regular coffee drinker downed the ENTIRE mega espresso drink without realizing. She spent the rest of the night shaking the jitters away! It made for some very zippy nursing on that night shift. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚โ โ € โ โ € #nightshift #nightshifter #nightshiftproblems #coffee #coffeeshop #espresso #shiftwork #oops #nightshiftwellness

Feeling sluggish on night shift? Eat an orange! It's true โ€“ all citrus fruit has a perk-up effect and tells your brain to WAKE UP. ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŠโ โ € โ โ € Even just the smell of a freshly peeled orange can put some pep in your step. A whiff of citrusy goodness boosts your bodyโ€™s production of serotonin, contributing to energy and calmness. And the juicy, sweet treat will give you an energy shot of natural sugar and keep you hydrated.โ โ € โ โ € The best part? Oranges are packable, portable, and inexpensive! A night shift win. . #nightshift #nightshiftproblems #nightshifter #cleaneating #healthyeating #nightshiftwellness #snackideas #snackfood #oranges

I N T E R V I E W // Meet Erin Abraham, the holistic nutritionist behind @nourishedroot (and my former neighbour!). In today's NSW blog post, she dishes out nutritional advice all shift workers need to know โ€“ from the importance of meal planning to why protein energy bites are a night shift secret weapon.โ โ € โ โ € "The protein and fat in energy bites work together to sustain energy and to also fuel your cells. If you snack instead of having a heavy meal when youโ€™re on the night shift, you are more likely to sustain your energy and itโ€™s easier on your digestive system."โ โ € โ โ € ๐ŸŒ™ Read more >>> Link in bio!โ โ € โ  ๐Ÿ“ธ @mitchjacksonproductions #nightshiftwellness #holisticnutrition #shiftworker #healthyeatingโ  #nightshift #nightshiftproblems #healthylifestyle #nutritionist
