Hi XXXXXXX
thanks for writing in.
You have not mentioned you shift schedule, whether change of shift is weekly or within 2-3 days interval.
If shift change is weekly , then there shouldn’t be a problem adjusting. The most important thing is to have your meals on time. Every 3-4 hours, you should be having something small and nutritious. Its also very important that you get some exercise everyday. Avoid taking too much of tea and coffee and rely on water, XXXXXXX tea, fruit juices, coconut water etc.
Spending quality time with your family and sleeping for atleast 7-8 hours everyday is also important.
Stress relieving exercises like pranayama, meditation and yoga will also help.
Hope, I answered your query.
If you have further query or clarification, please ask.
I will be happy to help.
wish you good health.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing back.
You have got very tight duty schedules but now you have to adjust according to the way I suggested.
Take the advantage of having two days off and simply unwinding during these days.
