I'm surprised nobody has mentioned melatonin yet. Blackout curtains, anything you can to suppress noise, and melatonin. It is your body's hormone that naturally makes you go to sleep. That production is all wonky with night work. Start with 5 mg half an hour before you want to sleep (if needed) but you can go as high as 10. It isn't a magic bullet but helps some.
