I know exactly what you mean. I've worked 7p-7a for years. People just don't get it. Even my manager doesn't get it. She had her staff meeting at 7am in the morning-if I was off, there was no way I would be able to make it since I can't fall asleep till early a.m. The noise, the UPS guy, the neighbor knocking, Mom calling, sheesh.
If I was on call while sleeping, I would invest in a cheap cell phone, pay for minutes. That number would be for the person who calls you in. Then turn off the other phone. My dad pays $10 a month for his cheapy phone. Well worth it.
