Wahhhhh! I work two jobs and only get 2 hours of sleep a night, I wish I were you guys who are getting 5-8 hours of sleep per night and are complaining.
Taking a pill to go to sleep could mask a more serious problem.
When I was a newbie I had that problem as well. I also remember starving even after just having had dinner prior to my twi shift. After a few months my body regulated itself to the workload & my sleep & hunger issues subsided
So true. Whey protein, greek yogurt, skim milk, strawberries and bananas, blend it all up. Drink it before and after your shift. Drink lots of water. Problem solved. I found it impossible to get enough protein to do this kind of labor without the whey powder, but if you don't want to go that route greek yogurt alone is like a miracle food.Most that work like we work at the Hubs build lean muscle mass, and that demands oxygen, and nutrition. Hunger is a natural byproduct of the work we do.
I was in to Endurance Sports for a long time, and also into Bodybuilding. I was always hungry, because of the extreme workouts and muscle mass gain. It never subsided.
I'm always hungry at the end of a shift. But I consider it natural. Feed the muscles.
I am usually asleep before I even get home.

Replace the tylenol with 2 more beers!Two beers, two tylenol pm's night night!!!
"Most"? Who the heck builds lean muscle by lifting boxes?
I hate when drivers/pters think that I got this ripped up by working here.
General rule of thumb is 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight but this job id definitely shoot for 2 grams per pound of bodyweight and at least 2 to 3 grams of carbs per pound of bodyweight. Drink straight casein protein before you go to bed. It helps keep your body in a better catabolic state while your sleeping as it is a slower absorbtion type of protein.That is absolutely right on target. Whey protein is the best. And yes, the magic formula for bodybuilders and/or endurance athletes is to mix it with banana for potassium and some much needed carbs.
When you are working at something like loading for four or more hours, you may think your body wants a Snickers bar. While that is not the worst thing, it is not the best by far. You need complex carbs like a banana or strawberries, combined with protein to rebuild and build up muscle mass and feed the muscle you already have.
My go-to quick solution is Odwalla Protein Bars. Two of them on break. They are natural food and the perfect blend of complex carbs and protein. They saved my bacon on many power-loading occasions.
