Ray, I probably won't be much help here, but I can identify somewhat with your boyfriend's sleep habits. I have always been like that, postponing getting to bed at a reasonable hour, then rushing around the next morning, feeling tired. One thing I do is bring a lot of stress from my job home with me, and it sounds like he does this also. If he has a routine of exercise, like walking, after work, this is said to help with sleep, and also that one should not wait to exercise shortly before bed, but if done 4 or 5 hours beforehand, it will help. Also, I'm currently weaning off caffeine, and feeling much calmer. In the past, I have kept a cup of coffee with me at my teaching job all day long, just to keep going! (I teach middle school art.) But, then by the end of the day and coming home, I'm revved and stressed, well into the wee hours. Mentioning caffeine my sound trivial, as everyone loves it, including me, but it really IS the culprit in much of my nervousness and anxiety. Does he drink a lot of coffee?
Love
Patty
