I work two jobs, one at a bar and the other at a newsagents. So for the former I have late nights and the latter I have early starts, so sometimes when I have to do both back to back I get little to no sleep.
I remember a couple months back, when I first started the bar job, that I forced myself to survive on about 4-5 hours sleep over three days, with me being hungover for the first. That was my stupidity, because I was taking on overtime with the newsagents just to help them out, as they were severely understaffed, even though they still treat me like shit. In hindsight I should have just told them to shove it and slept instead.
I've had to do things like these a couple of times, although never as bad as that. I find my anxiety over work keeps me awake, like you Sector. I feel fatigued and tired, but not exactly sleepy. I suddenly get moments where it's like my body is trying to force me to sleep, but when that stops after a few minutes I feel okay again.
I've been late to open up the newsagents once by oversleeping, and since then I've always been paranoid of doing it again. I get so worried about doing it that I sometimes don't go to sleep, and stay awake all throughout the night to make sure I don't oversleep again.
I don't have imsomnia, I think I'm just a glutton for punishment sometimes, or afraid of not waking up again. I'm a very heavy sleeper when I have days off, I've slept 16 hours straight before.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
