He told me to stay up until 10:00 for the next week, and still get up at 4:00. I thought he was crazy, but I did it. Guess what. I was sleeping through the night and I was no longer in danger of falling asleep on the road or during business meetings (boy, isn't THAT embarassing!).

Moral of story: Maybe you, too, are trying to get too much sleep. Try working on your "sleep hygiene" (that's what he called it). See if it makes a difference.
