I work third shift, but switch to daylight schedules on weekends and trips often. I've just learned to plan my sleep about 24-36 hours in advance, and do anything necessary to ensure I get sufficient sleep before any planned activity (workout/stay up late/sleep short amounts to induce sleepiness at the correct time to get a good, long sleep before engagements). I'm pretty independent of circadian rhythm now. As a side effect, as someone who used to consider themselves a night owl, I now prefer to wake up around sunrise whenever possible (assuming I'll be able to do it for a few days in a row)
