I can understand your concern. A lot of individuals developed altered appetite and weight usually during changed shifts of work. Night shifts results in changed routine and poor non refreshing sleep. This results in persistent tiredness and individuals suffer weight loss. Improvement in sleep results improvement.

Try to sleep for at least 7 hour a day.

Avoid taking tea, coffee while after night sleep.

Use dark glasses after finishing night shifts during commutation.

Avoid taking heavy feeds in morning and also during night shifts.

If persistent tiredness is also a symptom then visit a doctor for evaluation. Medicines like Melatonin or Ramelteon can help to improve the changed sleep rhythm and your symptoms will improve.

Thanks, hope this helps you. Please ask again for more doubts.
