I'm sorry I don't have any advice as such, only to say that I was exactly the same when I used to do those same shift patterns as you.

I'd do 8.a.m till 8.p.m one week, then the other way around the next week & so on. It played havoc with my health & my body clock was all over the place. I did it for about 18 months & never got used to it.

I left in the end & was fine after.

Some people can do those shifts & some can't.

Sorry I can't offer any other advice.

Take care.

Supine sleep apnoea is sleep apnoea caused by, or made worse by, sleeping on your back. Sleeping on your side or on your stomach should help.
