You are exposed to a "Circadian Sleep Cycle" alteration. The best approach that I have used involves lack of sleeping pills, and instead alerting meds during the waking phase. Such items as modafanil and Nuvigil have been a significant benefit in my workers who experience this, and indirectly enhance sleep.
