As you age, going to sleep is less of an issue than waking up in the wee hours and not being able to go back to sleep.

Exercise and activity during the day helps. Sitting in front of bright screens all day does not.

Last night I was asleep before 10:30pm for the first time in months and got up at 7:30 this morning and holy shite, I feel like a new man.

But no chance I can do that regularly.
Years of bartending in college has forever made me a night owl who cant go to bed before midnight. I'm 25.

Strangely, about half the time I drink a lot at night (but not way overboard) I wake up feeling very rested and energetic, moreso than after a normal sober night. It's like my system, either mental or physical, likes it or something.

My wife makes this huge deal about how she has to get up early and go to sleep early. She gets up at 6:45 and is bed at 10:30. I just can't go to bed that early.

She'd like you more and you'd go to sleep earlier if you got up at 6:30 and made her breakfast and coffee in the mornings.

That'll change. When I was 25 I rarely went to bed before midnight either, and still made it to work on time.

Now I'm conditioned to waking up at 6... even on the rare occasion I am up to midnight I am usually up between 6 and 7.
