The two things that helped me most were light-blocking shades and a white noise generator. You have the shades, obviously, but try some sort of white noise. You can leave a fan running, get an app, or buy an actual physical machine (I've done all three). I've had so much luck with white noise generators that I've bought them for most of my family and friends (even the day-shift people) and helped them improve their sleep as well :)
If you get an app/machine with multiple sound options: Listen to the sounds carefully and eliminate any that bother you on any level, even if it's something as minor as being ever-so-slightly in a key or a pitch you don't like, or a "heart" beating a, little too fast. For any surviving sounds, you may need to try them out. For myself, I've had the most success with a thunderstorm setting: the constant background "rain" helps mask little everyday sounds, while the intermittent "thunder" makes me a lot less susceptible to waking up for bass noise (lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, trucks, car exhaust, etc).
What I've used (that I remember):
Good luck!
Lately it's been monster or pop. I've never really like tea or coffee. Coffee i will rarely drink but i like a TON of sugar in it. Not good. But, i do have these i picked up at Walmart and they're pretty good. I like the grape ones. Walmart also has these that i like, i prefer the lemonade ones. To get them to mix well I've noticed having a ice cube in there is best. Oh and these water bottles are the perfect size.
The trick is to have closed blinds on the other side of the insulator. This should give a fairly normal appearance if they fit and look right.
If all else fails, you can always implement a thick, dark, high quality fabric that resembles curtains. If that's not enough, you can make a wood or wire frame to give the fabric inward depth from the miniblinds and glass. If that's not enough, you can further add a lamp between the insulator and fabric to simulate a lit room, and you can even incorporate a window A/C since they are visibly insulated a lot of the time anyway.
It's all about determination, my friend :)
Edit: Mirror blinds are a great style for this purpose. They're aesthetically appealing and I'd be really surprised if someone thought it was unusual that they couldn't see past reflections in broad daylight. Try to use an insulator that blends in well with the scene and, if you still feel it necessary, open up often enough to mitigate any long-term neighborhood concern.
The biggest thing for me when I moved to overnights is I blacked our my room so I could go to sleep. I use something like this on my windows in my bedroom. https://www.amazon.com/BLKT-Window-Film-Blackout-Privacy/dp/B00OL1HCF0/ref=pd_aw_lpo_201_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FGKCSV0DCB8F64C8S4X4
Having a dark room did wonders for my sleeping. Also make sure the room is a comfortable temperature and try and go to sleep at the same time everyday. Being in a routine helps tremendously.
Drink lots of water and try to eat a somewhat healthy diet and if you can do some sort of exercise, even if it is just walking outside when you get home from work for a half an hour.
Edit: Welcome to the aviation industry.
I use a sleep sounds app. Rain storm sounds really helped me, but I see you got plugs so may not like sou d. However if you do like that idea and have some(alot) of extra money, Bose makes sleeping ear buds. Super smart light weight ear buds for sleeping.

This post was not meant to be 'blog spam'. I posted the link straight to the blog, and not to the flickr set because the rest of the blog has some amazing stuff on it as well. I found this incredible Japanese Baseball Card Book just because of this site's archives. I have no idea who writes this blog. I just like it is all... :)
Some stores sell these little vials of ginseng. I'd add it to your tea or drink, but it'll also help you with energy levels.

lol not suggesting you buy 180, but you get the point.
Absolutely it can be. When a dog hates its crate and is biting to get out, yeah. But when it goes in there whenever it is tired or scared or bored, it is home. I had a wolf hybrid that woild hate to have the door closed to the point it bent the bars, but if I left the door open and told him to go inside he wouldn't budge until I came back, even if my roommates would try and play with him. Crate training is a good thing, in my opinion, and dogs have that instinctual need to have a den, otherwise they run the house and their owner.
There is a great book, "Don't shoot the dog!" That I used a lot of information from when training my dogs. Maybe look it up and get some advice?

I take Trazodone. I sleep solidly and don't wake up groggy. I also sleep with a white noise machine called a Marpac Dohm sleep machine. I sleep like a baby. Good luck to you!
I highly recommend Tranquil Sleep. I work 3rd shift and have been using these for the last month or so. Also use blue blocker glasses to watch TV for an hour or so before hitting the sack. Combined, these are awesome. I rarely have a problem sleeping since I started using them.

5htp is a precursor to serotonin which helps with sleep! I used to use melatonin but it didn’t work but this stuff does!
I switch between that and tea with valerian root or chamomile. They say using melatonin long term can make your brain lazy when it comes to initiating sleep! I hope it helps you the way it helped me!
I hope this doesn’t come off as rude. I know your son was just trying to be helpful, I’d worry about alerting people that you work nights though. If I may suggest the “nanny knocker” It works great for me, and prevents people from ringing the bell. Here’s a link if you’re interested.

This is what I use. I love them. They don't itch and make my face hot. I prefer to use a portable speaker with white noise playing.
Custom molded earplugs are the bomb.
They come in two sizes -- Original Blackout Pleated Paper shade. 36" for $20 and 48" wide for $36. I bought the $20 version and was able to had to trim off a couple of inches; they're designed to be cut per the directions.
The top most end has an adhesive strip although in supposed one could use tacks if they preferred. The adhesive stip works fine.
Custom molded ear plugs.
I use these everyday. If molded properly, they block out almost all noise.
