Hi @pepsi97, I had similar sleep problems years ago when I had a job working second shift from 4 PM to Midnight, Monday through Friday for six months and then was switched to third shift working Midnight to 8 AM, Monday through Friday. The first couple of days were tough when I made the switch to a different shift. I have no medical background or training but I think the key is to get a minimum of 6 to 8 hours a night. What I ended up doing was setting a sleep schedule and sticking to it even on the weekend so that when Monday came around I was in the routine already.

Here's an article you may find helpful - 12 Ways to Fix Your Sleep Schedule: https://www.healthline.com/health/healthy-sleep/how-to-fix-sleep-schedule
Excerpt from article..."Choose a bedtime and wake-up time. Stick to these times every day, even on weekends or days off. Try to avoid staying up or sleeping in for more than one to two hours. By following a regular schedule, your internal clock can develop a new routine."

How many hours a night sleep are you typically getting now with the new job?
