Thirty odd years ago me and a couple of mates did this for several years, most night trunkers started at 10pm, but three of us had to start at 00.15, 01.00 and 02.00 to tie up with the changovers. I just reversed my days and went to the pub straight after work, went to bed at teatime and got up for breakfast at 23.30 
I could also spend all weekend in the pub as my first shift was on Tuesday morning.
