Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I think I have discovered that I need a really high daily activity level to sleep really soundly. If I walk 6-7 miles a day, in hilly neighborhoods but without weight, I sleep OK but if I wake up early in the AM I have to try tricks to get back to sleep to get the 7.5 to 9 hours that make me feel best.
If a couple of those miles are weighted with 30# to 40# on my back, it makes a big difference. I often go out dancing at night, which is moderate exercise, and the stretching etc is useful, but it looks like for me at least that the key to really gobbling up the ZZs is getting a reasonable volume of burdened walking. I am sure that digging up garden beds, carrying mumber around, anything that involved heavy whole body work would work, but a weighted pack is easiest in my circumstances.
With this heavy exercise, I don't even wake up till I am done sleeping. I never would have expected that I needed this much.
