Working away my 20s, how do I ask my boss for a weekend bonus or to get shifts off?

I have a good-paying night job, that I'm able to use to pay my way through college. I work the worst possible schedule though, Thursday-Sunday 5 PM- 4 AM. I feel like I'm letting my 20s slip through my hands, my friends stopped inviting me to most things since no one really wants to go drinking on a Tuesday night. I have a day job as well that's mostly remote and might be enough to pay for my bills that I might consider just prioritizing and bumping my hours. I feel like I should get a slight bonus for working weekends though? I would also like to maybe alternate every week to get a Friday off or something so I can at least try and maintain some semblance of social life.
