help! I work a rotating day/night schedule and need advice for eating

I work a rotating 12-hr shift schedule (2 days on/2 days off). We rotate days and nights every 4 months. Should I keep my eating habits the same for nights as I do for days or do I reverse them? Should I still eat breakfast when I get up (on nights) or lunch? I work from 6pm-6am or vice versa. Also on my nights off I tend to stay up all night to keep my system regulated (I'm naturally a night-owl). Because I get off work at 6am, I go to bed as soon as I get home, when should my last meal (dinner) be? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am still pre-op waiting for ins approval. Thanks
