I'm a runner and there are two mornings a week where I have to run anywhere from 3 to 8 miles after I get off from my 12 hour nightshift. I have found I actually enjoy it as the mornings are quiet and cool (I hate running in hot weather). And I am able to get to sleep after my run, which is nice. I feel like cr*p when I wake up in the afternoon, whether I work out or not so doing it after I get up is not an option.

I have not been to the gym since earlier this year. However, I would get off work at 6:30am, arrive to the gym at 7:00am and start my workout by 7:30am.
I was home by 9:00am and slept from 10:00am to 4:30pm. I kept my weight under control by doing this and it worked for me, but your mileage may vary. :)

I'm about to start my first night shift this week. I was going to try doing it after my shift. Idk how well this will go but we shall see.... Lol
