A good night's sleep is worth more than anything. Shift work and diet are alot of it. Get a consistent life schedule going. Don't have a television or computer in your bedroom. Only use the room for resting. Get all of your amino acids required in your diet. there are ten that you cannot get with a normal diet and that you need supplements.
