People go into business for themselves thinking they'll have more time for themselves. I found out the hard way that the opposite is usually true. You end up working a lot harder a lot more hours for yourself, trying to get your business up and profitable. You think, going in, that this is your key to freedom, and it ends up being your key to killing yourself. You become a slave to it. [2005] - Adam Ginsberg

Contrary to traditional cautions against exercising within 3-4 hours of bedtime, we now know that exercise within 3 hours of bed is unlikely to interfere with sleep. In fact, it may be helpful. Regular strength workouts are associated with improved sleep quality according to people's ratings. Mind-body exercises such as yoga and tai chi are also associated with improved sleep quality ratings. Overall, people feel their sleep is improved when they exercise, regardless of the type of exercise. The sleep benefits of exercise may not be so evident if you have chronic insomnia. If you have persistent insomnia, combine your regular exercise program with CBT-I and insomnia doesn't have a chance. [2021] - Judith R. Davidson
