Some idiot I know got up at 4:45 on saturday to go to morning practice...

If you had been going to morning practise youself it wouldnt have caused any problems!

Alison2805, I am very jealous of you. Ive basically got chronic insomnia. I cant get to sleep even when I am v.tired. When I do its light and I wake up at the slightest noise. If im not alone in bed it causes havoc to what little chance I have of getting to sleep as well. To top it all off I always wake up around 630-7am everyday... regardless. Once my eyes are open, thats it: awake. It really affects my life in a bad way.

Ive tried booze, sleeping pills, music, white noise, incense, reading, etc etc. The only thing that does seem to help me is physical exhaustion... and perhaps thats why im kind of addicted to kendo. Except now I generally breeze through keiko without any problems.... so I need a crazy schedule to get tired........

Being a bad early riser is nothing.
