Do you sleep before your first nightshift?

[OgopogoLPN]

I usually cannot sleep beforehand. I can never nap in the afternoon as I have 2 young children. I sometimes try to lie down at 7:30pm (11-7 shift) but I almost never can sleep as my normal bedtime is about 11pm.

So I'm basically up for 24 hours when my first nightshift ends. Subsequent nights are easier as I have slept usually until at least 2pm or so.
