I have no problem eating plenty of all the right things. I have a real problem with NOT eating plenty of all the bad things.
Especially on weekends, when I am free to do what I want all the time, so I have to use actual willpower all the time just to keep my face out of the Phish Food.
I donāt think life insurance gets access to your medical insurance records.
And self administering black market heart meds. 
Like itās not good enough that dimwits blow their own balls off. Now someone has to die!

I am currently in the middle of this cycle that has been repeating a few times over the last days of home confinement:
Stay up watching Netflix and video calling with the gf from around 1am planning on going to sleep no later than 1.45am
By 2am Iām still up. This drags until 2.30 when I start trying to go to sleep.
By then anxiety starts to kick in and I postpone the alarm for the next day as much as I can because apparently the anxiety stems from knowing that I canāt get much sleep in. Heart starts racing.
Anxiety gives me hot flashes, I feel super hot even though the windowās open and Iām shirtless and the weather is objectively cold (I still havenāt been able to identify why this happens).
Then usually after an hour or so this just wears off and I fall asleep in exhaustion. But right now itās almost 5am, I have an alarm at 11.30am and Iām panicking. I know that rationally there is no reason to, but I seem to not be able to help it. Itās just something that kicks in and prevents my mind from drifting off.
Iāll try and fix this specific instance of the problem by going to sleep earlier from now on, but this one belongs to a host of episodes Iāve had for years with sleep. Apparently I still havenāt been able to come up.
I flat out donāt understand how people canāt sleep when their tired. Iām not doubting itās a thing, but I just donāt understand how it works.
But my 2c is that the hours before midnight are better than the hours after. Iāve never found going to sleep late and getting up late to go well.

Do you have to be up?
What do you mean?
When you set the alarm - do you have to be up, or are you just trying to maintain a sleep schedule? If you donāt have to be up, donāt set it so you donāt have anxiety over it.
But I agree with @dagill2 that going to bed much earlier is better for your system.

I am trying to use as much of the day to study as possible so I wouldnāt want to waste too many hours.
But yeah, today I had things to do so I needed to be up
Iām not sure about others but Iāve found that when I start to get tired I have about 30-45 minutes to decide to go to bed. If I stay up longer than that I hit my second wind and get this weird very mild headache. Iāll still feel physically tired but no longer sleepy and will roll around in bed for a couple hours before falling asleep.

Iāve gone 3-4 days in a row too many times to count with no sleep.
Itās like Iām laying there anxious about something (bills, kid, full of fear in general) knowing I need to sleep. Then a sudden little shot of adrenaline goes off and any thought of sleep is ruined for about an hour. Repeat, repeat, repeat,
Then instead of waking up I just skip that part and make coffee, start getting ready, etc.
One day, then the next, and so on.

Having missed lunch, I grabbed a chicken wrap from the supermarket. It purports to be a Healthy Choice.
This shit has the same calories, protein and fat as a Big Mac. For the same price.
Whatās more, thereās a McDonaldās opposite the supermarket. I could have had a fucking Big Mac.
