If you're in your 40s or 50s and finding yourself wide awake in the early hours, brain already running, unable to drift back off, this video explains exactly why it happens and what you can do about it.

I've been working with men and women on their health and fitness, in person and online, for 16 years. As a 49 year old dad of three myself, I know the struggle is real.

The second half of the night is inherently more fragile than the first, and after 40 several things start happening simultaneously that make waking in those early hours much more likely. Most of them never get mentioned, and most people just accept it as part of getting older. It isn't.

In this video I cover why this is happening (alcohol, caffeine, stress and other overlooked reasons).

I also cover quick practical changes you can make this week, and the longer term approaches that actually break the cycle.
