Stress Eating ... Stress Sleeping?

One of things I've noticed about myself since the holiday season, the new work that has come in from this now-shuttered lab, and the departure of my co-worker, as a ripple effect of all the long hours I have to pull to get the work done, is how awful I feel after I get home.  Sure, it's a relief, but often, I have grabbed a bag of chips or peanuts and I have just eaten, and eaten, and eaten.  And that's before I take the leftovers I want to eat out of the refrigerator that serves as my "proper" dinner.  I am not in the best shape right now because I have neither the time nor the energy to exercise lately, and I feel I am getting fat, no doubt.

Moreover, my sleeping patterns have taken a hit.  I haven't stuck to my four hours of sleep per night with a lot of frequency lately.  Partly that is due to not being able to sleep in my car during lunch at work because it's been so darn cold the past couple nights.  That results in me being really, really sleepy, but earlier in the night.  Partly it's also due to being able to sleep in during the weekends since my season of organizing Game watches and working Vikings Games is over.  I am able to catch up on my sleep, which means I can stay up later ... but that also means I get sleepy at other times of the day.  These things clash, but with the added stress of ten-hour days at work, my body seems to be crashing.  I say this because Tuesday night, my body told me to go to bed at 10:30 and I woke up, refreshed, at 4:30.  And I was able to stay alert at work all day, even with failing to fall asleep in the car for lunch.  I wish I could do more of that ... well, maybe go to bed at 10:30 and wake up just before my alarm clock goes off.
