There is solution: You have developed a "Shift Work Sleep Disorder" (SWSD), which changes the normal circadian sleep patterns and results in insomnia, and less restful sleep stages. It may seem contra-intuitive, but a valuable approach comes from Narcolepsy, and that is to use drugs such as Modafanil or Nuvigil. Most neurologists who focus in sleep disorders could help dramatically.
