Regional guy here but with the kind of schedules we run, thought I'd offer my tip for falling asleep early...melatonin. Will gently get you to sleep for about 4 hours after which, oddly, you'll wake up totally refreshed. Your mileage may vary.
I'm definitely in the YMMV demographic.
I can fall asleep for 4(ish) hours with/without melatonin and feel pretty good, but not for long. There's NO way I can do a 12-14 hour duty period (I KNOW, NOT a red eye style duty period). But any way you cut it you're going to go into a sleep deficit.
