Advice Needed

Oh dear, I'm so sorry you're having a really rough time at the moment, Bee I've had days where I've gone on 2-4 hours of sleep per night for 3/4 days and then just crashed out, and felt like absolute hell during them, so, I can't imagine how awful you'll be feeling if this is a prolonged thing.

I'd say cut out everything that isn't absolutely essential and make more time for yourself. Is it at all possible to cut any of your uni hours down? 12 hours per day sounds like it would get on top of anyone. Maybe take a day off every now and then, when it all gets too much, I know that sounds bad, but sometimes, I find, if you're working on something non-stop, taking a break from it lets you go back to it with renewed energy.

As for herbal pills that might work... Kalms are supposed to be good, I took them before my second French oral exam and got through that fine (the first time I completely broke down), and my brother keeps raving that sominex pills are great for helping you get to sleep. You can go to the doctors and get pills for insomnia too, my friend was suffering, getting about 2 hours sleep every two days, and now she's getting at least 6 a night.
