The damage potential for a power laser with a magnifying glass is proportional to the age of the individual ;)

I have a relative that often works 2300-0700. The best strategy is to get lots of light while you're on shift and make sure the room you are sleeping in is dark (ie, very dark. You want to simulate midnight). I've also read that cooling your body down before sleeping can help (simulates the cool of evening), so maybe try a cool shower?
I will definitely try the cool shower idea. My wife put a black sheet over our window to make it more night-like when I get home, and that's helped a bit.

I've only been going at it for four shifts, but it's very difficult work. I've asked to have day and evening shift orientation and then work on a PRN basis, there's still plenty of work that way.

On a different note--

Just bought some of my favorite Hitchcock films and a Frank Sinatra CD for under $50 at Target. I didn't realize how old Cary Grant looked in "North by Northwest" after seeing it again.

Trouble with the Nebula

All that static discharge and gas clouds our tacitcal display. Visual won't function and shields will be useless.

I proposed an orbiternaut-drafted plan for space exploration.

We will need to start from the beginning. I've already strapped a prospective cadet to a single SRB to determine the patency of solid fuel in our space program.

*launches*

*...up...up...up...*

*cadet's head explodes*

Ah, sacrifice for the sake of progress. Here's our list of additional items we will need.

1. Helmet

I wonder if you could fit a laser tag kit in your personal effects allowance. The Marines would probably pay a couple million for you to compose a report on zero-g combat techniques...:lol:
