All I want to do is die, and every thought is about being doomed to some sort of hell on earth (i.e. global warming, planet ending scenarios). There is also self harm when I get stressed during that time.

In my depression experience, which is now decades-long, the sleep thing can definitely be a big part of it--as others have mentioned above. So, I would watch it. Maybe think about doing a little mood charting, just to see if you think there is anything there to notice.
I hope you remain depression-free!!
