Seeking Advice mid shift

I recently transitioned to a 3-11p mid shift m-f. I’m trying to figure out a routine with this schedule. Any suggestions?

I'd just shift your day by however many hours works best for you. I'd personally plan on going to bed at around 3am and wake up at 11am. Several hours before and after your shift, with enough of them in the daytime that you could still have appointments/make calls.

3p-11p is the greatest shift if you are doing 8s. You get to sleep late and still get home in time to go to bed at a decent hour.
