I'm looking to see what the usual amount of time you work or have seen most people work on 3rd shift for?

I've been on 3rd since Sept '05 and I'm debating how much longer I want to stay on mids.

My work calls 10p-9A 4x10 days (1h lunch).

Things I've done to make it work:
1. sleep mask. (some guys are using melatonin suppliments now).
2. Sleep when my wife's at work.
3. Don't flip back on days off unless it's for more than just 3 days off. (I clean the house while she sleeps.)

What do you do to make mids work?
Does your job have a hard time staffing people for 3rd shift?
