sleep is difficult to count
Last night, I went to bed at 23:30 and again I woke up at 5:00 but stayed in bed and slept more. I think I got out of bed after 9:00 but I was awake for a long time and just thinking. It's hard to quantify exactly how much sleep I got. It took me a little while to fall asleep in the first place. Probably, no more than 8 hours of sleep in total.

early to bed
I went to bed last night at 22:00 and it probably took 30 minutes to fall asleep.
Then I realized I was awake at 5:08. But I stayed in bed for another 3 hours, probably sleeping and waking and sleeping.

it's working
Yesterday, I finished work in the morning, came home, and then went to the supermarket. Then I ate lunch and took a long nap from about 13:00 to 18:15.
Then I went to bed and slept from about 22:30 to 5:50. Almost 7.5 hours. But wait! It doesn't end there! I didn't get up right away so I had a few more dreams. But anyway, I'm up now.
This seems to be working much better than my previous attempted methods. Before, after I finished my 2 days followed by 2 nights of work, I would try to stay up all day or maybe just have a short nap of about 3 hours. For some reason, with the short nap, I was not ready to go to sleep at night and would stay up late and then sleep in late the next day. Or by not taking the nap, I would fall asleep early, like at 20:00, but then only sleep 8 hours at the most, get up for a while, then get sleepy again and sleep another 6 to 8 hours during the day. It was because that first sleep was not long enough to make up for my sleep deprivation and then the second sleep would come during the wrong time. After the 2nd sleep, I was fully recovered but then awake at night again.
I have one more 2d-2n shifts to work this month. Next month, I will have to work 2 days and then have 2 off, and then work 2 nights. So it's going to be a totally different thing.

9 hours of sleep
I slept from 21:00 to 6:00. I awoke at 4:00, but didn't get up, so I could fall back to sleep right away.
