My party consists of a shifter paladin, an aasimar wizard, and a viashino cleric. A long rest requires at least 6 hours of sleep and 2 hours of nonstrenous activity, like keeping watch. As it is, only 2 of the party can receive the benefits of a long rest, with the third having to take 2 shifts in case we are attacked. We are all level 1 and no one has find familiar or any spell like that. Is there a way that we can all get the benefits of a long rest?
The rules for Long Rest are guidelines, they're not set in stone. I have a party of four players, and I split Long Rests into two shifts of keeping watch. This way there's usually a pair keeping watch at all times, giving an opportunity for the players to role-play their characters unwinding and discussing the events of the day.

Thanks. I'll talk to my DM and see what we can work out with it.
You can also just make your camps last 10 hours, so 1 person can go to sleep early and take the extra watch in the morning.
Daily travel assumes only 8 hours of travel anyway.
If your wizard has it, the Alarm spell would allow you all to rest at the same time with relative safety.h
Watch your back, conserve your ammo,
and NEVER cut a deal with a dragon!
Another couple of suggestions:
Otherwise, I'd just sleep longer and let the math take care of it.
Thanks
