I did my military service (25 years ago). After that I rarely wait more than 3 minutes to fall asleep.
Not many books get read that way unfortunately, I used to read a lot before that.
These days I do wake up at weird hours though, not sure what to do when I wake 4AM.
Could you elaborate? Was it from total exhaustion? Were you taught a special technique to help you sleep? Or was it from knowing you MUST get your rest or you'll suffer the entire next day?
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?

Sounds like a good opportunity to read
Correct observation :) Or reply to relevant replies to my half baked comments on HN.
