Sleepy Sleepy Space Cadet

I feel like I lost my head somewhere in La La Land.
Seriously, I don't know what my problem is, but going on a month I have just been exhausted and spacey. I have pretty bad insomnia usually, getting ~3-5 hours of sleep when I set aside 9. So it's been very weird to me lately that I sleep 8 hours, wake up, feel the need to go back to sleep after breakfast (if I indulge myself, I sleep until 12), then feel the need for a 5pm nap and STILL be tired at 9 pm.
What the hell?!
I'm not even sick anymore. Even my cough is mostly gone. Shouldn't I have energy again?
If that's not bad enough, while I'm used to misplacing things and forgetting things and failing due dates, lately I have just been impossible. I keep my commissions sorted in lists along with mailing lists so I don't forget. I think I've forgotten 2 orders that needed to be shipped, accidentally dropped communication twice, AND even forgot to DO one commission.
This is ridiculous! If you've been inconvenienced by my scatterbrained nature lately I deeply, deeply, apologize. I'm sorting everything out ASAP.
In the mean time I need to figure out what vitamins I need to be taking or... something. Because this is embarrassing.

Warmup sometimes help to concentrate ^^
In high school I worked from 6-10, and slept probably 2-6 or so. Maybe 2-7. And I use the term sleep loosely. That's the amount of time my head was on the pillow and attempts were made.
Because of my work schedule, my prime energy time was at around 9-10. That followed me for years. I wanted to be up and moving and kicking butt at 10 at night. Which would be great! ...If I didn't have to be up at 5am.
I have soo many alarms set. I will shut them all off. I've tried different kinds of alarms, too, like "solve a puzzle before the alarm will stop" and whatnot. It's been a struggle for years to maintain an 11-7 sleep schedule, because my body just will not do it.
