For me is like my body can't decide, sometimes I can, sometimes I wake up exhausted.

Yes, same for me.

I've been working nights for about 20 years and it was easier when I was younger. Now that I am in my early 40ies I find it more difficult to just go to bed and sleep.

Some weeks I can keep a steady schedule, sleep during the day and feel well rested, but other weeks I can't get more than a few hours during the day and feel miserable when I work.

However it's also changing with seasons and things I do during the weekend. I tend to sleep less in summer because of the heat and the light. Also I go camping during the weekends and have to sleep during the night, then switch back to day sleeping during the week. It's much easier in winter because it's always cold and dark and I just stay home.

So, it varies a lot for me.
