I've worked rotating shifts for almost 20 years. My sleep patterns are awful, I have to get it when I can. Exercise is essential if I want to sleep more than 5 hours. I get 7 hours of sleep maybe twice a month unless I'm super active. I don't normally have a problem falling asleep, it's staying asleep or falling back to sleep. When things get bad I rely on my Kindle. I can turn it down so it doesn't bother my wife & usually fall back to sleep within the hour.
I track my sleep on a FitBit & seem to average about 6 hours. I try not to stress over what this means for my longevity. I can retire in a few years, but would like to work another 10.
