I do not believe that you identified your problem correctly.

Hunger has more endurance than most people's willpower, so the trick is not to make it into a contest. That's why lifestyle change is one of the standard recommendations of slimming down in a healthy way.

So, I would re-frame your question as "How do I change my lifestyle to get more sleep and less stress?"

Unfortunately "quit nursing school" is probably the only good answer to that question.

You guys: nursing school suuuuucks.
