Even in college, I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night. I now know it was because of depression/anxiety (but not the kind of depression that made me sleep a lot--maybe a bipolar depression?). I would always go to all my classes and have never missed work because of lack of sleep. I would force myself to work through the afternoons even though I was tired (lots of coffee and, back then, Diet Coke). Now, I can take naps since I do not really have a job (I occasionally teach an online class in the morning but not very many).
I hope you are able to take a nap today.
