Night off, Mind on

I thought I was getting this NOC shift thing figured out, routine down, sleeping when I can etc...However, I've had several nights this week that have proved otherwise.
For example, one night this week I found myself vacuuming at midnight (who does that??). I vacuum occasionally but never does it happen at midnight, sorry roommates. At least the vacuuming happened. 
Last night I dreamt that I was late for work, or somehow couldn't get there. Babies were crying, no one was there to care for them and something was holding me up. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. I woke up this morning feeling like I had just given report, telling day shift all about my busy night. 
I'm going crazy. 
Goal for next week: develop solid routine so my body knows when to sleep. 
...how about now?
