Night Shift routine.

A question for all night shift workers I work between the hours of 6pm-3am (full time). how do you guys manage to workout and take care of responsibilities without getting burnt out.

I definitely want to tone myself and lose weight, but I want to avoid being burnt out and make sure I have energy for work. would it be easier to workout after work?

I get home around 3:30-4am shower then try and rest I sometimes fall asleep after that or I don't sleep until 11am 🫤 I want to improve and get myself a better routine so hearing ideas could definitely help.
