But you did hit the nail on the head as far as the other activities go. In the last year or so I've experienced chronic insomnia. When I get home I can sit at my computer and fall asleep sitting upright from exhaustion while reading emails.
I do believe if I could dedicate an hour a day working out most of my problems would be significantly reduced. It's just hard to get motivated to do the productive things I realize I should do when I have the chronic insomnia/binge drinking/anxiety/depression thing going on.
