I feel your pain. I can't get more than 8 hours of sleep even if I can sleep in (I average around 6-6.5 hours a night). Not only that, but I usually wake up at least 2-3 times during the night, and sometimes it takes me a while to get back to sleep. I'm an extremely light sleeper, and while it makes it easier to get up in the morning, I'm very jealous of all my deep-sleeping friends who have no issues getting 8-9 hours a night without any interruptions. Any time I can sleep through the night is a cause for celebration. The exercise advice doesn't really apply to me because I run 35-40 miles a week for Track, so it obviously isn't helping me get to sleep. I often wonder how much faster my times would be if I was a better sleeper.
