Hang in ther Fire Star. Blue has given you some great advice. I hope you continue to find ways to take care of yourself through this stressful time. More will be lost if you burn yourself out then if you put the breaks on now and find a way to lighten the load. Do it now or it will do it to you later.
Blue and I share much the same history in terms of work burnout and being forced to learn how to find the balance and stay away from the edge. I pray you don't neglect yourself and find yourself teetering any closer to that edge.
You can find the balance. Let your body be your guide. Wishing you only welness.... and some rest! Take good care of you. You do know that your productivity improves with proper rest right? So chasing deadlines sleep deprived really isn't the time saver you may think when you are feeling paniced for time. I know how hard it can be to slow down when you are in speedy work mode and how easily you can fall into going non stop. It sounds like it is catching up on you and your body is giving you lots of warnings to slow it down a notch or two. You need to listen and give it what it needs right now.
Sleep, indulge in a relaxing activity for a while.... take those walks more often...... and then go back at it with a fresh mind and rested body.
