Sleep deprivation: during weekdays is compensated during weekends, although you don't want that to keep going on, try to have enough sleep during weekdays too, observe sleep hygeine: no caffeinated beverages in the evening, no TV, pc, smart phones / phones before retiring, cool quiet bedroom, etc.. try for 7 hours sleep at least, good luck
