My shift man days are behind me now....
But I used to work shifts.
They tried every kind of shift and I worked it.
12 hour day night
10 hour Day Afternoon
8 hour day afternoon and night.
8.5 hour day afternoon and night ( because we don't want to pay for lunch breaks also a 10.5 for same reason lol)
Some weeks you worked 60 hours in a run and others only 24 in a 7 day run.....
Anyhow this messed up my sleep.
Trick is eat when your hungry and nap often don't fight it
Tell the boss you need a short nap at lunch and most often this will get you through the night.
Fighting it willl cause you health trouble or worse cause you to have an accident.
Now once home I found a light snack and shot of rye would often help you get to sleep.
ANd keep your sack time in check.
You need 8 hours even if its broken up with naps ( avoid sleeping more than that )
