Does not eating and exercise make your period start early?
No, if anything the opposite is true.
You only menstruate if you ovulate, and you only ovulate if your body is physically healthy enough to cope with pregnancy - if a woman was to exercise too much or starve herself then the body will try to prevent pregnancy by preventing or delaying ovulation, thus they would either miss a period or experience a late period.

Can lack of sleep make a period late?
Potentially, yes.
You only menstruate after you have ovulated - if you are at all ill (such as poor health from lack of sleep) at the time you're supposed to ovulate your body may postpone ovulaiton as a way of attempting to prevent pregnancy at a time when you'd not be able to cope. Thus delayed ovulation will lead to delayed menstruation.

Yes, your period can be late when coming off hormonal birth control pills.
Hormonal birth control works by suppressing your menstrual cycles so that you no longer ovulate and thus you also no longer menstruate - bleeding you experience on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. When you come off the pill your body has to regulate itself again and reestablish your menstrual cycle, it can take up to twelve months for cycles to regulate which can include late or absent periods the first three months. Remember too that your period won't come at the same time as your withdrawal bleeds.
