A mantra I heard recently that has been helping me with my own 3AM panics was "None of this matters and we're all gonna die". A bit Nihilist maybe, but has been helpful and just kind of removing the weight of the situation
Good thinking. Sometimes I have to remind my nerdy colleagues about what a true emergency is. A true emergency is when your granny is having a heart attack and has to be rushed to the hospital. When a big corporate website, that does millions of dollars of transactions is down at night it is NOT an emergency. They have to hire staff specifically for night shifts if they are so concerned about the money that they may lose.
