Yeah, take the pain and get back on track. Though I've known several shift-workers, including my sister, who did well with a five-and-three regimen. They'd get to bed at about 1 or 2 in the morning, wake at six or seven, do stuff, crash in the afternoon for three hours, and then go until 1 or 2 again.
Basically, you've got no schedule right now, no place to be, and you've let your sleep pattern drift into a bad place. Worst case I ever saw was a guy who went to bed later and later until he was crashing at 6 am and waking up at 3 or 4. Lived at home with his parents for years with no job, into his late 30s. He looked more like a vampire than anyone I ever knew.
