Well, I used to do something very similar - I worked 3rd shift in the summer and on some weekends but had school in the morning....

Basically, what I usually did is stayed up until I was "supposed" to go to bed, even if it was only a few hours. If you wake up at 5:00 pm and need to go to bed at 11:00, just take a sleeping pill at 10:30

The reason, however, that I had to do that is because my schedule switched so quickly, it would be better to do it the natural way and just force yourself to stay up as long as you can in order to get your bedtime where it should be.

As far as sleeping pills go, I'd recommend Unisom. It's a tiny little blue pill that knocks you on your ass, but providing you sleep 7-8 hours, leave no ill effects the next day.
