      Also don't get on the computer/phone the last hour before you go to bed it will keep you up much longer. both because of the backlight and because it distracts you.

        Do you have a camp/nature trails near by we have some of those they are my favorite. I love nature. I'm not so much of a gym type person.

        Not much of an outdoorsy person myself. I don't like bugs, which is why I always loved winter in NY.

        Dallas wasn't all that bad with bugs except in the summer.

        Dallas is pretty good. CNY is horrible for bugs!

          @ajstringham Then walking or the exercises previously mentioned, are a great choice for you, cause they are free. Oh, and for the socializing problem, how about joining the library, and then seeing if they have a book club or other interest clubs? I know ours has that stuff, it's all free and possibly a good way to meet people. Maybe just retired people, but still - people!

          I joined Toastmasters for this reason. They meet at the Timberglen Library.

            I don't think that's possible for me...

                I placed second. I was actually told that if I had opened with the formalities "Distinguished Toastmasters, Fellow Toastmasters, and Distinguished Guests", I probably would have won. I was told the content of my evaluation was much better and stronger than the other speaker.

                    Thanks. I've been doing public speaking since I was 5 in front of 100+ audiences. However, until I joined Toastmasters, it was always from behind a platform. With Toastmasters, you may or may not have a podium, and you are often expect to move around the stage, which feels so freaking weird to me I can't even explain it. Basically, what I'm learning now is the whole stage presence without a podium thing, and how to work it. I'm getting there.

                        I was pretty happy with that feedback at least. Oh well. No biggie.

                            I do that in bed. No avoiding that. @Dominica is really bad about that.

                              This is easy for me... we have very little tech in the bedroom - I leave my phone in the living room and no TV. My wife does bring her kindle to bed though.

                                @Dashrender I have my desktop in the bedroom plus we both have phones and tablets that we tend to bring to bed.

                                  @scottalanmiller I 9gag until I fall asleep. For me, it's much more effective than reading.

                                    True. No idea where I'll take a walk. Besides, I have no one to hang out with, so going for a walk is not something I think I can make myself do.

                                    Hi A.J. A problem with no one to hang out specially walking or doing exercise is always problem..That is also my big problem during morning or during weekend my room mates don't like to go out walking they would love to sleep than waking up early to walk outside. so i do it alone i bring some music...

                                        9-gag. It's a site. Funny stuff. Very random.
