As someone who let that kind of pattern go on for far too long, I strongly urge you to talk to a doctor about this if you can't turn it around on your own in a matter of a couple weeks, since it has been going on long enough that you have noticed there is a pattern.

Ah, I'm a member of that club, I have the t-shirt around here somewhere.

That pattern is my sleep life, and I would like to medicate it away, thanks. Because obviously I have given up on an actual cure for my sleep shit. God, last night was awful.
