I work full time Mon - Fri in Lafayette and put in an average of 16-20hrs a week at night/weekends in a POPO uniform. Get something to darken the windows in your bedroom and adjacent room as much as possible. We have shades and drapes, been when I pull a few night shifts in a row, my wife hangs blankets or towels to insure it is pitch black.

That will help. Also adjust your meal times so that you eat a meal, a few hours before you go to bed. I am fortunate and can sleep anytime I need to, but some days I do get up after only 3-4 hours. Good luck!
