you are having sleeplessness due to your night job.
do not worry it is easily treatable.
i am giving some suggestions to you.
first try to maintain the sleep hygiene y the following activities..
1] use bed only for sleep and sex. no other activities like watching tv reading etc.
2] do not take hot beverages and caffeine containing drink like coffee and tea before going to sleep.
3] go to bed only when you feel sleepy.
4] do light dinner two hours before going to the bed.
5] do some light exercise as slight tiredness good for sound sleep. but avoid heavy strenuous exercises as it causes difficulty in sleep.
6] try to maintain the time table. go to bed same time you used to go.
7] use flat bed avoid too much cushion as it decreases quality sleep. but avoid so much hard bed.
above measures will help you a lot to get a sound sleep.
if you have still problem than you can take single dose of mitrazepam before going to bed.
hope my answer helped you .
take care.
