Right! Should have been in my comment.

I think an important part of it is that is made me stop worrying. Sleep will come to me eventually and meanwhile my body will continue working. Maybe my brain does not work optimally, but well enough.

Sleep is my friend.

(I was not anything like a navy seal but a commander of ~25 soldiers).

So being in the military made you stop worrying? How did it do that?

By pushing your limits.

Probably. Military service in Sweden in the 90s did not mean you had to worry about going to Iraq or Afghanistan.

As I mentioned I was also a platoon leader so I guess I had som more freedom.

But some weeks we had to go on without much sleep. (And you are constantly freezing).

Another thing I learned involuntarily was being a timekeeper. There is always a clock counting towards the next event in my head.
