You HTFU and ride. Also, sleep is my highest priority. The work you do in my field when you're tired is worth less than nothing.

Maintaining a sleep schedule helps avoid this, I think. Anyway, no insomnia here. Seriously, sleep, it's more important than your job. If you aren't saving lives, and these "skip sleeping for this" crap keeps coming up, and it's not going to end in 4 years, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
I think you just aren't getting enough sleep.

* Rain: HTFU
* Slick: The right tires, and HTFU
* Cold: HTFU
* Thunderstorms: Wait for them to end, then go home. Cut off early if possible. Go in early if necessary. Or, cross your fingers, you're probably more likely to get hit by a car anyway.
Weather is obviously a regional problem with regional solutions. Our T-storms are generally 30-60 minutes, but other places have longer storms.
