Can someone tell me what you do with respect to NITNEM, when you do night shits? When do you read Japji Sahib, Rehras sahib and Kirtan Sohila?

shits should be shifts
any one working in shifts is free to do his nitnem may be verbal on duty or any time that suits the individual
I worked in shifts too and got this answer from darbar sahib
There is no hard and fast rule of studying Gurbani. One can study at anytime.
Guidelines are only for the general public convenience. According to Bhai Gurdas Ji. We should recite Jap Bani in the morning. Sodar (Rehras) and Arti (Sohila) in the evening.
ਸੋਦਰੁ ਆਰਤੀ ਗਾਵੀਐ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੇਲੇ ਜਾਪੁ ਉਚਾਰਾ। Bhai Gurdaas Ji – 1
Jap Bani needs more concentration, hence recommended in the morning.
Sodar is relatively easy so recommended in the evening.
Sohila is short, hence recommended in the late evening time.
Purpose is to study understand and follow the Hukam of Akal Purkh, so that one can become Sachyaar.
Gurmat does not accept any ritual whether it is related to Path or any type of meditation. Main purpose is to recite listen understand and follow Gurbani written in Guru Granth Sahib.
ਗਾਵੀਐ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਮਨਿ ਰਖੀਐ ਭਾਉ ॥ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਘਰਿ ਲੈ ਜਾਇ ॥ Jap – 2
We need to understand and follow the Hukam of Akal Purkh and try to go in the direction of becoming Sachyaar.
ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ Jap – 1
