After only 2 years on the "graveyard" shift, it took me over 2 months to get back to somewhat normal. Now however, with it getting light outside earlier, I find I'm not sleeping as long as I'd like to. I'm just afraid that if I nap in the afternoon it will mess me up again. Everyone is telling me it can take quite a while longer than I think.
While I was working nights, I kept to that schedule even on my days off, which helped me then, but if I took a vacation, it wasn't until the end of it that I slept nights. Some people love the shift, but I certainly wasn't one of them!
Good luck to you.
