So combine bad for us food with simply eating to much food (way more than our bodies need) definitely lead us to bad health.
Exercise and sleep is also a big factor.
I'm failing on the sleep part currently.
Me too. My body wants to be asleep 9-5 and awake all night. It's been tough to reverse that.

I should add that I did a lot to fix my sleep patterns this past year. Getting more sleep now. But still struggle to simply stay asleep over six hours.
I'm kinda in the same boat most days...

My sleep isn't so great either. Exercise has helped with that in the past even with getting up earlier, but I have seen the gym for a few months now

I'm fascinated by the number of people who report issues with sleep these days. I've never had trouble sleeping and my body has always demanded 8-9 hours nightly. For those of you who struggle with it, have you ever seen a physician about it? Do you have any ideas as to why it's tough for you and things you think would help?

I don't have "issues" per se. It's just that my body doesn't let me sleep more than six hours, that's all the sleep my body can stand.

Ok and do you feel rested after these 6 hours? If so, I think I would actually prefer that.

Oh my body demands 9+ hours, but that's near impossible for me with having to be at work during normal biz hours (mostly). I try to catch up on weekends, but it doesn't help. As far as seeing a doctor, I'm afraid of what I might do blacked out on ambien. Don't want to burn the house down by trying to cook something in my sleep.

Oh yeah. Totally rested. Dont normally get tired again for about 19 hours.

I refuse to use alarms except for extreme things like catching a flight. So my sleep is always "sleep till my body says to wake up"

See I envy these. I'd love to sleep 5-6 hours a night and be fully rested, given that it doesn't negatively affect my health.

Speaking of allergies my nose is starting to act up.

It's one of the best things in life. Makes being healthy and happy much easier. Go to bed when tired, get up when rested. Let your body guide you.

I'm lucky if I can take a nap when I need to without getting woken up or not napping at all.
-
I am slowly getting used to my diet. 3 Yogurts, a bag of baby carrots, mixed nuts and water today for lunch. Not easy.

Hell no.
I actually enjoy yogurt. Is it a texture thing for you? Do you like cottage cheese?
-
I really like yoghurt typically. had some last night in fact.

Most dairy is disgusting.

I wouldn't say I have problems either - I simply force myself to stay awake long than my body wants to - and I typically wake up between 6 and 7 hours after going to sleep.
