Best way to fix nocturnal sleeping pattern?

After doing irregular nightshifts for a while (no longer doing so) my sleeping has adjusted quite well to that type of pattern.
Although, i have stopped taking those shifts, and i have been unable to get my body back into a normal sleep routine. This is messing with me quite a bit, since during the normal week i am back to having a day schedule, and as a result i am getting far less sleep.
To make matters worse, by the 4th, it is absolutely imperative that i get up in the morning hours and to have had enough sleep to be able to function properly.
Yesterday i woke up at 6:30pm. I think on average, people are awake for around 15 hours. This would result in me becoming tired naturally around 9:30am EST
Would the best thing to do be to stay awake as long as i can right now, past 9:30am and hopefully try to fall asleep around the evening, perhaps at 6:30pm? Then after that, gradually increasing the time i fall asleep to a later time, such as 10:00pm?
This would mean i end up staying awake for 24 hours, which isn't too fun or healthy, especially when i still have things i need to focus on today.
Would the better choice be to try and fall asleep asap right now, and maybe get a short amount of sleep today and set an alarm, then gradually decrease the time of that alarm until it's at a normal hour of waking up?
The second option seems like it would be ideal, but the circumstances of needing to have this sleep pattern completely fixed by the 4th kind of makes it more difficult.
I'm not sure what to do. Please help me guys.
