Look put up the curtains or cover your window with a heavy blanket. There is no need to remove the dreadfully ineffective blinds. They make curtain rods designed to go over the existing ones. I would also recommend a valance or what ever that box thing is that goes over the curtains. File this under odd and random, try taking zinc for a week or two. A good quality Omega three with a high concentration of EPA wouldn’t be a bad idea either since it seems to help with mood and focus issues. The zinc is odd, but since I tried it, I have slept better,though fewer hours and snapped at my kids and husband a lot less. The zinc is supposedly used as a precursor to melatonin and used in some way by the brain’s chemistry processing of the omega threes.

I agree exercise helps, because it also helps with the morning anger. I prefer light weight training and use an app by prevention magazine. I tried yoga, but !$$&, I have trouble with all the noise in the house and asking me to be still, grrr! I like the weight training with resistance bands because it is challenging and forces me to physically control my body, the bands position and makes me sweaty.
