Answers:
I think you have a lot of stuff going on in your life right now and therefore, it's hard for you to relax!. Your job makes your sleeping pattern very inconsistent!. I would try to get used to the job and the nightly hours a little more so that it would be easier to adjust because every one has an internal clock that helps tell them when to wake up and sleep!. It's always best to try to find ways to go to sleep!. I will list a few for you:
-try listening to soothing music
-try reading a bit before heading to bed
-inhale and exhale deeply to relax your body
-do light exercise work out (pilates)
-watch a bit of tv
-take a warm bath/shower
-just close your eyes and make sure not to open them (eventually, you might fall asleep)
-keep yourself warm in the night (you lose most of your body heat from your toes and neck) so if you're freezing, put on some socks!.
-Arrange your room so that you would want to go to sleep (ex: settings of light to become more dim, a comfortable, clean bed, an inviting room)
-thinking of positive things and list what you are grateful for (being positive can help you sleep faster because you aren't too stressed and holding back upon sleep)
-drink warm tea
If these don't work, I would continue trying until I get used to it!. I would consult a doctor last because I don't really have a strong belief in medicine!. You never know there might be side effects with medicine and pills!. Best of luck and happy sleeping! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

For a while i had this kind of problem!. I found certain music help greatly!. Enigma worked well for me!. Also not to think about things you have to do, at bedtime!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
My advice is to do the following:
1!. Have a warm shower and wear wide comfortable night wear;
2!. Drink a full cup of cow's milk;
3!. Go to bed, close your eyes, switch off your mind and relax all your muscles with the feeling that you are sinking through your mattress!.
I wish your insomnia will be solved, other wise discuss it with your GP!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
