4 year old behaviour

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any advice or experience of the sort of behaviour we are experiencing with our 4 year old son. He ruins everything we do, I think he is being controlling as at school he behaves and they think he is wonderful. It has always been hard as he has never slept so that in itself is rubbish. He has a tantrum about everything from his brother being awake first to me opening something that he wanted to. The controlling part comes when he screams and screams until I undo what I have already done so he can do it. For example my 7 year old and I had to get back in bed the other morning so he could be the first up. Everything is a battle, it is his way or nothing and after 4.5 years I feel i can't do it anymore. I try not to give in to him but when we need to leave for school or work I feel I have no choice. Bedtime can go on for a few hours, he can wake every few hours (but this happens less often now). I know he is shattered which isn't helping. I don't know where to turn or what to do. My husband and i are both struggling mentally and i fear alot of it is down to his behaviour. It is damaging our relationship and has a massive impact on our other son. Some of it may be due to giving in to him but it is a never ending circle so any help would be very gratefully recieved
