This is what happens when half the tech industry puts a megalomaniac on a pedestal because he used his personality disorder to motivate people. We need to stop championing bad behavior.
This condition is caused by what some refer to as Adrenal fatigue. Working 15 hours and being driven by a person, corporation, or goal isn't healthy.
Think about this, the entire PC Industry is very stimulating and even long hours at a machine it still stimulates your brain and makes you think. On top of this the brain creates Melatonin only when night time is perceived but if the light entering eye is enough to limit that production then your body will hit a wall eventually.
So, lack of Melatonin and excessive stimulation = hard times falling a sleep... Long work days = little time to sleep... Little time to sleep = low Seratonin Productivity by the brain. Low Seratonin = Imbalanced Chemicals in the Brain = Anxiety and Depression.
Bottom line, make time to unwind and relax! Don't use Alcohol to do this as that is also a depressant.
My Advice, setup your room with room darkening and noise canceling blinds, Get a noise generator like an ocean wave sound or rain forest, Get a non-scented candle and light it in the room... Then just make time to relax in there before bed and before you know it you'll be sleeping well and much happier.
