I've actually only lived in the Twin Cities 3 years (2 in Minneapolis and 1 in St. Paul). These problems followed me from Massachusetts.

Yeah, I've worked with (and am continuing to work with) all of the above. Unfortunately, this has pretty much gone on my entire life. And really sucks, since it means I have hours less to do stuff per day than everyone else (and even when I'm up I don't feel very "awake"). Blah.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I have anxiety, depression, it takes me hours to fall asleep, I've tried all sorts of medications, I didn't even have a cellphone for most of my life, etc. I can't nap, and once I wake up for the day that's generally it, how can I sleep normally?

Ah, I've done 2-hour commutes before.
Granted it was via public transportation (and something that only would have been around 40 minutes otherwise), but still, it's not like you're in Kazakhstan or something.
