I think I'm about to start a good 7 month stretch where i don't have to work 2nd shift, so hopefully that will help too.
Ahh. Your circadian rhythm is ****ed. Swing shift has destroyed any chance of your body developing a normal pattern. Unfortunately some people's bodies can just never adapt to it and your sleep will suffer as long as you work it. There are things you can do to help though:
