Go to bed earlier (9:30 if going to Alewife next morning, 10/10:30 otherwise), and get up earlier (7:30/8a on days you WFH. 6:30a for Alewife days, since there is no other choice). You _have_ to get back into a sane schedule so going to Alewife in the morning stops wiping you out so much.
Yes, it's fun staying up absurdly late sometimes. But you have to get back into a sane schedule _first_. And not do it two nights in a row.
You'd think after 15 years or more of this sleep problem worstening, you would _know_ this by now. But no. Sick for multiple months plus winter _completely_ fucked your schedule.
You take ~60 minutes to fall asleep, and you need _more_ than 8 hours to be happy. Stop conveniently forgetting this just because you don't like that it's true!
All that does is make you useless in the evening, and often during the day, too.
We know that you hate always being the first to need to go to bed. But having your sleep meds making it _possible_ to fool around with your sleep schedule without dramatically bad results does not mean you should be relying on it.
