Have you tried working blocks of nights as opposed to random nights here an there? Nights are traditionally done in blocks because then you have proper time off in between to recover fully.

I've done single nights before and found it much more exhausting than the six night blocks that i do now. By the time i get a few nights into my six, am able to fall asleep very easily and sleep well enough during the day too..

Hth - take good care of yourself and your little one
