So I have had 1 nights good sleep in three months now. I either sleep fitfully tossing and turning all night, don't sleep untill 3-5am or fall asleep and wake up around 3am to either not sleep again or toss and turn. Does not help I start work at 8am too.

Any advice on how to get my energy up to exercise better, im finding it hard to even walk my dog for more than 15 mins!
Also how to kill my MEGA carb craving that is getting worse the longer this goes on! I just don't want all my work wasted because of this.

I know it's caused by stress and anxiety but there is nothing I can actually do about bar win the lotto and move country lol!

    I get the exact same thing and would very interested in some advice about it!

    I've been exercising most days of the week, and it definitely has a knock on effect with my sleeping. I feel physically tired - exhausted even and often achy with it - but my mind is much more alert. I also have massive cravings for highly calorific/carb food all evening after workouts.
