Answers:

Right this is easy I used to work shift work being in the army sometimes we worked up to 15 hours at a time. First if you are into doing fitness go for a run before your shift then for the first few hours on shift drink plenty of coffee, tea, redbull basically anything with a high caffeine content, do not drink any of this in the last 4 hours of your shift by the time you finish work the caffeine that has kept you going will have worn off and you will feel knackered before going bed have a cup of horlicks or take a couple of calms try to get at least 6 hours kip when you wake you will feel fine.
