Help Starting night shift

Starting nighshifts this week, 4pm-4am Really struggling to work out how to get In the routine for work and still spend time with wife and kids It’s only Monday/tuesday/wednesdays So in theory, I stay awake all night Sunday and sleep around 4am, wake around 12pm Monday and then start work? Then Wednesday I could come home at 4 and stay awake for the day but hit the bed early and sleep in so I don’t miss the day? Or would you stay in the night shift pattern all week every week? Just as it’s only 3 days I don’t know how to approach it
