not sure how to answer this, I am going through a simular issue with my girlfriend, and to top it off its a long distance romance. I worrie about her not sleeping just to talk to me, but she insists that its ok.

I wouldn't worrie about it. The fact that he wants to spend time with you is the part I would focus on. If this is a new job it maybe that after a time he can change shifts.
