Obviously if you are used to working out at night and then snoozing soundly soon therafter, you don't have a sleep issue. Same with eating a big meal immediately before bed. I don't think they meant go hungry. Most people can eat at 6 and need only a snack before a 10 or 11 p.m. bedtime, if that. If, however, you are doing some of these things and not sleeping well, they may be a cause. Like Jon, I can't nap and not pay for it later. Same with eating dinner at 8 and going to bed at my usual 9 p.m. Just makes me sick and prevents me from sleeping soundly. Linda, I hope you'll share the herbal remedy. I'd like to give it a try before I really need it. I think these tips that Devine Sports recommends are based on average people/runners.

I found a herbal remedy that seems to work though and I wake up refreshed and NOT grouchy like some other stuff I've used. I have a terrible time sleeping, especially before an event.

Especially the napping part. If I nap during the day, I'm up later at night. I suspect this all may vary from person to person. I’d say that list is 100% true for me. Especially the napping part.

She lists a few points, not all of which I agree with. She does mention that it is important to get sleep two nights before and not the night before a race, which I do agree with. Sleep generally affects you about 36 hours later, so the sleep you need for a marathon tends to be a couple days prior and preferably the full week prior.
