I have been under a lot of stress lately. In all honesty, I'm having trouble dealing with everything. This has resulted in some very inconvenient sleeping habits that I'm not at all happy about.
I stay up late. Really late. On nights where I have to get up early the next day for work or school. It just kind of happens... all of a sudden it's quarter to one, and I'm still awake. Usually just screwing around on the computer, or watching TV. I think part of the reason is I essentially hate my life. As soon as I go to sleep, the next day is here. And I really don't want the next day to come, because it means I'm one day closer to some deadline. One day closer to the next time I work. I'm wasting time, and screwing up my life. It's like I'm watching and can't do anything about it.
The worst part is, staying up late means I am dead tired EVERY SINGLE DAY. I take lots of naps during the day, wasting even more time. Or I struggle through work, and then get home and just laze around because it's all I feel like I can do. Or I get sick because my body can't fight off the evil little germs, or whatever.
This is not sustainable, and it's really starting to tell on me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Hey All Canadian! Thanks for stopping in over at my blog, and commenting!
Girl, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.... know what I did? I hit 30, and decided that Life Is Too Short. I made a complete and total change. Moved south. Got a dovirce. Followed a dream, and learned to dream MORE and dream BIGGER.
It was the scariest d@mn thing I have ever done. One of the absolute hardest, too. But also, one of the best. The Best.
Hang in there. You will kow, when it is time, where you need to "be heading" in life, and you will find the strength to Get The Job Done.
And above all else, Belive In Yourself! We can do anything we set our minds to! ;)
(LOL sorry... its the "Mom" thing in me...Gotta nurture... sorry if it drives ya batty...)
I guess I don't need to tell you how important sleep is for your mind and body. Try changing your habits. If reading puts you to sleep, snuggle up with a paperback books under the covers around 9:00 PM and let yourself drift away. I'm lucky, or not so lucky depending on how you look at it: I have a little white pill that I take to bring down my blood pressure, and within half an hour I'm out like a light, but not without seeing double first! Anyway, take care of yourself.
Oh yeah, that stress is absolutely hell on the sleeping habits. I know; I do it too.
I wish I had good advice. Instead, know you are not alone!
If I get into that kind of funk the TV and the computer go off at 10pm -- no ifs, ands or buts. Then I take a book and get to bed. Nuzzling Muzzles is right about sleep -- getting enough of it can make or break things.
