Like, if it’s chemical, i.e. you had too much coffee etc - you’re probably stuck. But if it’s because of stress you can probably do some things to get relaxed. My major tip is, NEVER look at the time. It’ll stress you out. And small periods of sleep are far more restful than you worry they will be.
