Occasionally working a night shift I get it real bad as well.
Never more than three hours a night. I would get real tired but as soon as my head hit the pillow, I would start to "think" about things too much. A sign of stress for sure.
As for a solution? First off I confronted my stress(school) by working harder at it. I also made a conscious effort to eat a lot healthier and get at least a hour a day in exercise.
Melatonin helped too.
I know how bad it can be. Ive lived a couple summers high up in the NWT where we had direct 24 hr sunlight. Sometimes it would be so bad that I would almost be in tears cause of the crappy sleeps of no more than 2 hrs.
