If you're going 3-11, that's 8 hrs...

I'm the king of getting a second wind, but it's usually alcohol-driven. Curtailing food and booze about 3 hrs before sleep, watching a little Mentour Pilot or reading a book, I'll conk out before I planned to. Avoiding the second wind is a discussion in itself.



Problem is the rest of my life is incompatible with waking up at 11. My job wants to me available from 9am and even if that wasn’t the case my wife—perfectly understandably—would not be too happy with me working until 19:30 or 20:00 as that would massively cut into our time in the evenings. Hence why I wish I’d grown out of it.

+1 for Mentour Pilot, love his videos
