Work night shift lately i'm feeling hungry constantly craving for sweet food, is that normal? is it from stress?

Yes: Sugar cravings are a frequent result of chronic stress. Try meditation and massage therapy for relaxation. There are over the counter supplements also decrease stress such as L-Theanine as well as Relora that can help.
