Welcome to Matt’s Mix Tape: A steady beats approach to midlife fitness, writing, and mindset. Can we be honest with each other? It’s Sunday evening. I’m struggling to write. Work has been intense for several weeks. And I’m in one of those cycles, due to factors outside my control, where my sleep can be interrupted for several hours at a time.
I was a hardcore alcoholic for years. Constantly bemoaning my sleep issues, basically drinking myself to sleep most nights.
Amazing how quickly ( two weeks ) my sleep patterns corrected after I "retired" from the booze. For that alone, I recommend sobriety for people who are having sleep issues that disrupt their activities and play havoc with their moods.
I can relate to the "no-energy" state and need to push through. I'm frequently traveling across time zones and one needs to learn how to pace oneself! Thanks for your "oatmeal-brained" article, which I found timely and valuable to reset myself. These are solid lifestyle tips. All the best!
January is the worst. Definitely lots of hours -- but way to keep hitting that publish button, Matt.
I appreciate your weekly insights, especially through the peaks and valleys.

Hi Matt,

I do drink alcohol, but I work out every day and take lots of supplements. I've found these help:
