I used to work 6pm-6am. Light blocking curtains are a must. Even better if they’re heavier and can block some sound. My biggest problem working nights is that if my room had even an inkling of natural light coming through when I was attempting to sleep it wired my brain to be up.
Now I work until 11pm and at least I’m okay if I’m in bed when it’s still dark out.
