Thanks for your advice! For 1, that's a great idea and I really need the exercise. But it's ruled out for 4 months of the year due to northern temperatures. I have a very low tolerance for cold, so if there's snow outside, it's extremely unpleasant, tears up my throat, paradoxically burns my hands and ears, etc. Can overdress to compensate, but even then it's still unpleasant and slippery outside. For 2, I'd love to read more in general. But I have absolutely no imagination, and get lost in side thoughts. I'll find out after having read six pages that I had zoned out and don't remember a single thing I read. Maybe that's okay if I'm just trying to fall asleep. I think I'll give this suggestion a try with my "Making Sense of Japanese" book ;) For 3, won't the blue light from the TV cause someone to stay awake? I heard it disrupts the body's production of melatonin, because it think it's daylight.

>For 1, that's a great idea and I really need the exercise. But it's ruled out for 4 months of the year due to northern temperatures. There's stationary bikes, gyms, etc. Plus, not going outside is an attitude issue. I've gone running a few times in winter, despite having Raynaud's syndrome (or something similar, my extremities tend towards ambient temperature unless I'm jogging or doing something equally strenuous). It's doable. Not pleasant and requires some thought and care though. >For 3, won't the blue light from the TV cause someone to stay awake? I Any bright screen makes falling asleep harder, fools the body into thinking it's daylight. Only something like Kindle with very gentle light doesn't make going to sleep harder.
