Do you have an occupation with periodic intense stressful periods? I teach middle school and have found in the last couple of years that I'm best prepared for really busy and intense days when I've gotten up a half hour early for a morning run. Usually a two to three mile fast run. Maybe toss in some sprints if the day ahead is scheduled tightly. Having all of the endorphins in me, I've noticed, helped me keep my head and I find myself making some unusually good solutions to the stuff the day may throw at me. I've sold a half hour of sleep for hours of peace and level-headedness. Have you done similarly?
