You lucky, lucky sod. I get hyperactive and even more insomniac. However, I do find it really hard to wake up when I've finally got to sleep and I'm stressed.

That doesn't make me sleepy, just slows things down enough that I'm not a gibbering wreck (ditto pasta, bread etc)

Same here - I don't think I've ever bought anything I liked or with long term value when I've bought it stressed.
Feel the same way about eating when I'm stressed, too - and only very recently been able to counter that.
For the hobbies - knitting (something simple - no cables or counting!), making wire components for jewellery, drawing or painting
