You actually sound pretty normal. I find I go through the same, alternating pattern roughly every quarter. I'll have 3 months of all nighters and forgo food and sleep without issues. Once a certain level of success is obtained, my brain and body decides to relax and not let me do anything unless it's an emergency. Sometimes this last for weeks, sometimes months. But I totally get what you're saying. For me, inspiration and motivation are tied to my procrastination. I tend to come up with the best ideas and do my best work when hanging off the edge of the cliff. In addition to working out (as philip has suggested), I would find a way to either hide or invest your monthly income so you don't have access to it. If you only had to live off of $4500 a month instead of $15,000+ a month, you will get your head back into the game.
