Lack of Sleep Insanity

I feel like complete crap today. The lack of sleep hits me the hardest on Mondays. I can't concentrate on anything at work and after work, all I want to do is sit in my condo and read or watch TV - as opposed to going to CrossFit or meeting up with people at a happy hour event or really anything at all that's more productive than just hanging out with my TV and my cat. It's really pretty brutal and it's beyond me why I do this to myself. What is going through my head at night that I'm unable to put myself to bed?

The way I've fixed other problems is by writing about them. Something about the process of writing about an issue and tracking it over time seems to help keep it top of mind. All I know is that this is killing me right now on a number of different levels; throughout the week, I'm more or less miserable and unproductive, unable to concentrate on anything that's the least bit cognitively demanding, and really just sort of barely scraping by. The toughest part is dealing with ambiguous tasks, which is probably 3/4 of my job, or dealing with the rare escalation or crisis situation that gives me the stimulation necessary to focus and concentrate.
