That sounds like the same logic as some of my Sunday League team mates.. "I actually play better hungover.."
Not being able to sleep the night before playing early!

There is lots of good advice around about getting a good nights sleep
e.g. no alcohol, no caffeine after about 6pm watch boring stuff on the TV that stops the mind being too active.
If you are of a certain age getting up in the middle of the night to pee is normal, but it is worth having a your prostate checked just in case.
I cannot remember the last time I got 8 hours continuous sleep (must been before the age of 50).
I am lucky in one respect in that I sleep alone so I just put on some music (normally instrumental only) and go back to sleep listening to that. The hours between about 4 and 7.30 I just doze of and on.

Have you tried having sex when you go to bed to relax you, preferably with a partner?

Actually, playing alone tends to be quicker so maybe that's a better option............

Play 36 holes the day before, that will help you sleep.
Don't know if it's been mentioned before but isn't 8.30-9 a bit late to be eating?

I hate having to eat that late. It's bad for your digestion and weight gain amongst other things. Could be bad for sleep as well, I'm not sure.
I'm hoping so

I know, he's from Yorkshire as well. Not known for delicate behaviour there.

I’ve got the same issue. Being picked up at 7:30 every Saturday, and by that point I’ve usually been awake since 5:30 simply cause I’m so excited to play that I wake up early. Like a kid at Christmas. If I were to go to bed earlier, say 9-ish, I’d probably be awake no later than 4:30 and impossible to go back to sleep.
Don’t particularly have a problem with it though, but I’m sure that it would be beneficial if I could get a few more hours sleep. But what can I do, I’m just excited to get out there.
This is very similar to me, at the age of 64 I still get excited and wake early when I plan to play golf. Went away for 3 days for a society meet and was up before 6 every day, in fact I was waiting on the practice green for the greenkeeper to finish cutting at 6.30.
Can’t help o/p but dfs gave the best advice 😂

I've got a "few" years to reach that respectable age, but I really hope I will still be the same when that time come!

Yes I have. Did not know whether to take the chrome soft feel or the more harder top flight mattress. I had a lesson at 4.30 a.m yesterday but missed the appointment as I overslept!Have you been fitted for your bed, or I would suggest a sleeping lesson

9 is early?

I'm still confused by the the thread. Simple answer is go to bed an hour earlier which means a decent sleep, and no need move the game. Yet seems the option is to prefer to move the game yet states pressure as its just a fun game so I really don't get why any of it is an issue. But I am easily confused.
