It's clearly the cats fault! I notice a difference when I turn screens and electronics off before bed. Doing a bit of mild exercise or stretching about an hour before bed helps too, even if it's just 5 minutes worth.

It definitely is the cat's fault sometimes. I've been trying to make a point of kind of ignoring him at least for two minutes when I get up in the morning. Every day is like Christmas to him because he gets to play and have breakfast which are his two favorite things! So when he's up he wants me up, like a kid ready to open presents. I'm hoping I can disassociate getting up with immediate play.

I'll try the screens thing. I'd heard that, and it would be good for me to read a bit more, too.
