I feel you. I've been working 16 hour days almost every day lately and as a result it's made me more restless than ever. I get home and stress all night and can't sleep. When I do, I have intense nightmares. Have you tried any sorts of sleep meds? Even just diphenhydramine can help sometimes. I myself refuse to take Ambien or anything of the sorts these days because of the nasty side effects but I'm sure you know as well as I do that getting some form of sleep is essential to staying healthy and functioning properly...and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

No. I've never been one to need a lot of sleep, but lately it's just been 1-2 hours every 24. Most of it was due to a sinus infection, which is pretty much gone now. Getting my normal 4-5 hours a night now.

How you can function on 4 hours of sleep every night...I'll never understand. I feel like a zombie during periods of sleeplessness, getting less than 6 hours a night for any extended period of time makes me irritable and unfocused.

I've lived with 4-5 for so long that I almost can't sleep more than 6 or I feel like I slept too much.
It's the days I only get 2-3 are the worst. I end up laying in bed watching old TV shows I have on an HTPC most of the night.
