Always change shifts ahead and not backward. Rotate from mornings to afternoon to night and not in the reverse manner.
It helps your body to cope up with the shift pattern.
Have a good sleep in the day by setting up proper condition for sleep. Darken your room and put your mobile on a silent mode for an undisturbed sleep. Also, tell your friends and family how important is that few hours of sleep for you.
Avoid excessive use of antacids, tranquilizers and sleeping pills.
Learn relaxation techniques that help in healthy sleep.

Hi,
Its good that you share these tips with us but my experience is different from you."Darken your room and put your mobile on a silent mode for an undisturbed sleep".I have tried this one all it results is that it makes my body heavy,low mood,feel dizziness.

Low GI foods should be part of your night shift weight loss plan and these are foods that don't cause a spike in your blood sugar levels meaning you can feel fuller during your shift as well as knowing your body is in a healthy state as high blood sugar levels are associated with heart conditions and diabetes.
