Atm it's a massive habit and whilst doctors tell me you can't be addicted to sleep, I feel I am




I've had a lot of sleeping problems, which is a bit of an ongoing battle really, but I recently became determined to sort it out because the erratic sleep disorganises life in general. I made a little strategy to deal with it including not having caffeine late in the day, turning off the computer early in the evening, reading a real paper book in bed, taking a 10 minute walk first thing in the morning, having breakfast outside and opening more curtains to let more natural light inside. I followed that routine last week and it seemed to work well. I dropped it on the weekend so I could stuff around on Saturday night, but started picking up again in the new week. It's a small adjustment so I'm taking a while to settle in to it, but it sure shows some significant improvement.
