I have a day job like the OP and I love making apps by night. I usually end up working late into the night until 3am almost everyday and then wakeup by 7:45 early in the morning. Somedays I get more sleep if I dont feel like working. (I dont push myself, I only work when I really want to) I would love to do what the OP does and go for an early morning jog/run/swim. If you are in the same boat, what advice do you have for someone like me?

As a longtime chronic insomniac: don't screw around and take your sleep for granted. It sounds like you are seriously sleep-depriving yourself. Take it as seriously as proper exercise and nutrition. If you make apps, your mind being sharp is critical. An athlete wouldn't pig out on junk food and avoid exercise would they? I'm following a series of exercise videos, which I try to do first thing after arriving home from work in the evening. Find a routine that suits you. Don't feel guilty if Random Joe Blogger's routine doesn't suit your situation. If you are blessed with great sleep: seize it with both hands!
