Sleep

Running at 5am? Are you out of your mind?

Only if you run at 5am at the weekend too. Then you must be a err... Maverick!

I too struggle to sleep and stay asleep for what's considered the amount needed.

Think it's mainly to do with me being up at 4:30 every day for work.

Getting a decent bed has helped, as has having a routine. I go bed at around 20:30 every day midweek because if I go bed later, I clock watch and think 'shit, I'm up at 4:30 I best get to sleep' but of course I then don't because I'm thinking about needing to sleep. Midweek City games ruin me.

Exercise to knacker me out, a comfy bed and a cup of tea before I go up tends to be a routine that works for me most times.

Been up since 5 this morning though and I'm not working so maybe I'm not the best to pass on advice :)

Bloody hell if I had to get up at 4:30am I'd be flat out at 9 every night.

I have to admit I have no problems sleeping. To be fair its an escape from the screaming in my head. That and the Law.

Read 'why we sleep' by Matthew Walker - all your answers are in there. Advancing years and more screen time don't help, I suspect many of us are in the same boat.

I read that recently. It's amazing how important eight hours sleep is, for mental and physical health, recovery and learning.

I sleep usually until 4am/5am doesn't matter what time i go to bed, I tried nightnurse once, slept longer than usual but felt like i had a hangover, I can't lie in even when I'm awake, I just get out of bed, I work earlies my work day I'm usually up at 330am, so I see 4/5am as a lie in:)

Being a person who loves a kip and has never had a problem nodding off, I feel for those who have problems doing the same. It must be awful. Not as awful as being eaten by a shark, but up there.

I've never been eaten by a shark either. Just lucky I suppose.
