You're obviously a very driven and talented person to even attempt your schedule. 

You've hit on my ultimate challenge in life.  I'm a middle aged professional who regularly works ridiculous hours and travels.  I've used this as an excuse to not take care of myself for years.  However, I have friends who work the same type of hours/travel and they are in healthy and in shape.  I think they are better at loving themselves and putting their health first - which is the only truly healthy attitude. 

That being said - there is only so much a body can do.  You may be trying to do way too much and expecting way too much from yourself.  (I'm very guilty of this.)  Take a deep breath, reevaluate your schedule and determine whether there is something that needs to change.  Everything in life is a balancing act and your schedule may be out of balance.  Again, you have to put your health first because nobody else will - they (your boss and teachers/professors) will just keep asking more and more of you.  You have to take control of your own schedule and health.  Good luck in this continuous challenge of modern life!
