Sleeping and Awaking

"In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate"

I saw something on this Happy Muslim Family and Friends page and decided to post it here coz I am ALWAYS in this situation.

Narrated 'Abdullah (Radi-Allahu 'anhum): A person was mentioned
before the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and he was told that
he had kept on sleeping till morning and had not gotup for the prayer.
The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Satan urinated in his
ears." Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 245

I sleep late almost everyday- not because of insomnia as some would say but the term is actually somniphobia which is a fear of sleeping. I fear going to sleep because I'm afraid I'd die in my sleep and that I haven't repent much... or sometimes I just won't sleep even when I'm so tired because I feel that I had not done enough things during the day to warrant enough rest at night. Weird right? But worst of all is when I won't sleep because I feel unfulfilled in certain areas of my life and I feel as though if I stay wake long enough, I might feel better.

As a result, I sleep as late as 3 or 4am on some days and now since it's Ramadan, that means I have to wake up at 5am and I have even fallen asleep on the prayer mat while waiting for the prayer call. Astagfiruallah... But mostly, I'll lie down while waiting for the subuh azan and lo and behold! I fall asleep until 8 or 9am to which I feel terrible and then just sleep some more till 11 or 12. Haiz...

What should the cure be for this?

I'm thinking of eating multivitamins again, in hopes that it would energize me... and yes I'm looking forward to my gym sessions again coz I always feel in the mood to sleep after that. But Hubtobe thinks eating multivites are a waste coz my body will just discard the unnecessary elements. -boohoo-
