When I was working nights (and thus sleeping during the day), I used about 20 thumbtacks to hold a thick comforter over my window, which kept most of the light out and could be tucked back if I wanted to let light in. If you don't want your window covered you could get one of those sleep eye masks and look like goldie hawn's mom in overboard.

i'm doin' night shifts from 8 years. when you get back home avoid eating (drinking herbal tea might help), computers, tvs and powerful lights. pick a book, or listen to some ambient music while lying on the bed. of course do not think that you have to sleep but you can't, just relax and when your body feels that its time, turn off the light, close your eyes and relax, relax, relaxxzzzzzzz......

try 50mg of diphenhydramine hcl when you go to sleep. personally i don't recommend cannabis because your sleep is then less productive. get the diphenhydramine in non-prescription allergy tablets, read the labels. it's far more expensive if you purchase the tablets marketed specifically as a sleep aid (in the united states). an alternative is a prescription drug called trazodone (in the us); insomnia is an off label use for this medication in the us, talk to your doctor about treating insomnia (trazodone is much less habit forming than most sleep aids and generally mild side effects).
