1. What aspects of your life will have to change in order to cope with shiftwork (sleeping, eating)? I will have to get on a timed eating schedule. Though, I do eat nutritious well-balanced meals, the timing is off and I find myself stuffed at times in an attempt to make up calories that I lost from snacks I missed. This can be difficult because food that keeps longer and that is more readily available is not as healthy. I got to prepare multiple meals and schedule when I should have them during
