SEE!! Morzine Crew isn't just about abusing GB number plates, describing muggings, calling out the arsehole that cut you up in the lift queue, insurance and gym requests...it's mostly that....but when you need a hand, even Rob Youblind tries to help, sorta. Much love MZ, I'm going to go riding and hug a punter.

Apologies for the long post below, but it's full of information I promise. I feel your pain, for the last couple of years I had been averaging 4 hours sleep a night (then waking up for work at 4:30 am every day). I read a book called Counting Sheep (all about sleep and things associated) - literally changed my life, I highly recommend you read it. So much information in there. One of biggest things I did was to stop drinking caffeine after lunchtime - I now only have rooibos (african redbush) tea in the avo and evening (it's naturally caffeine free) - you can enjoy that with or without milk. Cut down on refined sugars as much as you can (probably one of the most damaging food substances, and the world's addicted). Melatonin tablets worked for me also. You can order them online at amazon.com. Melatonin is what the body produces naturally to start winding down for sleep time, the tablets just boost your levels and kickstart the process from when you take them, totally normal process and you eliminate the melatonin when you urinate first thing the next morning. Also, naturally, core body temperature drops gently before sleep time. Have a hot shower or bath an hour before bed and this will trigger a gradual drop in body temperature. When you go to bed, make sure your extremities are not cold and outside of the duvet as this helps to level out temperature differences in the body and cool the core more. Have a window open to circulate fresh cool air. No computing in bed. We are programmed to respond to light, even artificial light wakes us up more and the brain has a tough time shutting down after exposure. Further to that, try to cover up or shut off anything that produces blue light (mobiles, etc.) as this is one of the most penetrating light wavelengths and suppresses melatonin. Good luck, it's horrible not sleeping, it literally is THE most important (and most medically neglected) thing we can do for our health. Research is showing time and again that poor diet and lack of sleep are the primary causes of an astounding number of physical and mental health problems. People have been tortured to death in only 4 days by just being denied sleep. Hope this helps.
