Lost 60lbs last year and got back to a semblance of decent shape (used to be a exercise nut) that had a big effect but not the largest effect.<p>That came from sorting out my sleep, I set an alarm for 8am and no matter how tired I was I got up at 8am, after 3-4 days I naturally fell into a proper sleep pattern (head down around midnight, asleep by half past).<p>I&#x27;ve struggled on and off with insomnia since I was a teenager and this &quot;up at 8 <i>every</i> day&quot; approach has worked really well so far, sucks getting up at 8am on a weekend when you have nothing to do but tight sleep pattern is worth more.
