Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess whether it is feasible for shift workers to follow a time-restricted eating diet. The trial will investigate the impact of time-restricted eating on blood glucose levels during day and night shifts both with and without the time-restricted eating diet.

The trial aims are:

* Is it feasible for shift workers to adhere to a night time time-restricted eating protocol?
* How does time-restricted eating affect blood glucose levels during the day and night shifts and over the whole day?
