It's a tough transition, unless you've got people at home who will play along.

I found it easiest to go to sleep right after the shift - turn on a fan for pink noise and wear a sleep mask. This far north of the equator you'll need to block out the light in the coming months. One cheap way to do it is aluminum foil on your bedroom windows...of course it may look like you're either running a major grow operation or waiting for the Mother Ship to come pick you up.

Try to maintain a steady sleep schedule, and remember 2 + 2 + 4 doesn't equal 8 hours of sleep: It equals sleep deprivation.
