One of the challenges of working from home during the grave yard shift is thinking of what to snack on. I try to be conscious of what I eat - it has to be filling, healthy, and it shouldn't lull me to sleep.
So, I did my research and have picked out a couple of snacks to eat. A current favorite now is pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and polyunsaturated fats or the 'good fats' as they call it. i like to eat pumpkin seeds as is Sometimes, I add it to smoothies and yoghurt.
What's your favorite go-to snack nowadays?

Pumpkin seeds are good, and nutritious.

You're supposed to be so busy that you don't even think about eating while working. (I'm positive that's what your boss(es) would tell you. 
)
I've tried baked pumpkin seeds but didn't like them as well as roasted and salted sunflower seeds. (I just don't need the salt or my BP will spike. I bought a large bag of raw sunflower seeds and keep it in the fridge. I eat a handful of them every couple of days.)
I still keep fun sized candy bars in my bedroom but only eat one or two of those every three or four days.

@allen0187 I went from eating full-sized bars down to the fun size bars so that's pretty good.

Nice, no shelling needed—just eat and enjoy. I like pumpkin seeds too, along with sunflower seeds and watermelon seeds. I also enjoy snacking on nuts. Were the ones you bought good? Hopefully they weren’t stale or soft already.

It was good.
One thing I hate is deshelling sunflower and watermelon seeds. Great snacks but hard to eat.
