There are a lot of factors that go into what you're describing: exercise, diet, sleep patterns, workload, your bed, whether you consume caffeine, etc.
A couple of things: First off, you mentioned that you don't have a regular sleeping pattern. That HAS to change. Go to bed at the same time each night, turn off all the lights/devices/tv/etc, and wake up at the same time each morning (I don't care if it is the weekend). Circadian rhythms are set and modulated by external cues (called "Zeitgebers") and your activity, and so it is imperative that you try to help it stay consistent where you can. Exercise will definitely help you get a good nights' rest (and often times works just as well as sleeping medication). Your bedding also counts: a crappy bed will lead to a crappy nights' sleep, and you'll feel tired the next day.
Another thing you may want to do (if you have health insurance) is go to the doctor for a routine physical/checkup. They will do some blood work and also might diagnose an underlying neurological or hormonal problem if that turns out to be the case.
