How Do You Reconcile Between "day Sleep" And "night Sleep" Cycles?

[Wind]

Hello guys. I want to establish a sleeping habit that would fit with my current weekly routine.

On Fridays and Saturdays I work night shift with Rickshaw. I leave my house to work at about 18:00 and come back at 7:00.
But on other days I have free time and I want to establish a habit of waking up in the morning at 8:00, because otherwise I feel that the day is behind me already and this sucks the energy out of me. However, sometimes I get random bursts of productive energy at night before going to sleep, but I don't want to sleep throughout the day.

How would you go about waking up in the morning on all weekdays, then suddenly shifting sleeping cycle 180 degree during FRI and SAT, and then shifting it back again on SUN? Do you think my body would get used to it? Any tips? How would you suggest to sleep on Friday and Sunday to soften the shift?

Possible morning routine:
MONDAY TO TUESDAY: Wake up: 8:00 (8h slept) > Do shit > Fall to bed: 00:00 (16h waken)
FRIDAY: Wake up: 8:00 (8h sleept) > Start working 18:00 >
SATURDAY: > Fall to bed: 7:00 (23h waken) > Wake up: 15:00 (8h sleep) > Start working: 18:00
SUN:  Fall to bed: 8:00 (16h waken) > Wake up: 13:00 (5h sleept) / Fall to bed: 00:00 (10h slept)

I hope it's understandable. I know I need to experiment, but if you have suggestions, let me know by editing the schedule above of how you would structure this kind of sleeping pattern for the best shifts. Maybe include doing 1h power nap on Saturday before work?

Thank you for help.

Thank you captain obvious But this is not going to happen overnight, therefore I have to adjust to what I'm doing right now. Nevertheless, this routine is what I want and the job is really good, because I socialize and exercise while at the same time earning full time income while working only 2 days a week which gives me a lot of free time for personal development.

And this change in sleep cycle is unavoidable in any case. Even if I stop working, I would still be going out on weekends, or sometimes spend a night at friends' which would disturb my sleeping cycle. So, this will be relevant for me despise the lifestyle I have.

So, if anybody is knowledgeable in "sleeping" or have similar routine, what tips you could give me for my routine?

I am experimenting with random sleep routine. I put my need for sleep in first place not he schedule. When I feel like sleeping I go to sleep, but every time I wake up I got up. So I rarely are sleeping longer than 2 hours in one piece. I sleep 3-4 times daily and make no difference is it day or night.

I'd say its a sort of polyphasic sleep routine without rigid schedule.

Benefits are:

1) I never experience insomnia (just don't sleep if I need not)

2) I sleep less

3) I never struggle with sleepiness (just go and sleep hour or two when I feel like it)
