Never getting the required 7 hrs. sleep after working the graveyard shift for the past 20 yrs.

I have worked the graveyard shift 10pm-7am or 11pm-8am for the past 25 yrs. Therefore there is no way that I am ever tired before 3:00 am and usually 4am even though I have been out of work for the past 2 yrs. Therefore, I have never gotten the required 7 hrs. sleep in the past 20-30 yrs. My usual sleep is 5-6 hrs. and it has been that for the past 20 yrs. Therefore, how on earth can I reorginize my biological clock to sleep 7 hrs. a night, which has been a complete rareity in my life??
