My theory is this is cause by stress hormones.

You can get to sleep because you’re so damn exhausted, but you wake up as soon as you’re physically able because of the hormones.

The answer is exercise. Aerobic and weights. Three times a week minimum. And for a good amount of time.

I do powerlifting 3x week. No real aerobics, I should add that but I just hate it. Sometimes I’ll drop the weight and do high rep sets which does get my heart pumping.

My completely unscientific analysis: aerobics gets the blood circulating more and enables the body to remove stress hormones from the blood at a faster rate.
