Sleep?

My pop started taking me fishing when I was around 7 or 8 yro. Because I had to BEG him to take me fishin (only boys fish!), when he finally gave in to me, I was soooo excited! When I was a kid, I could NEVER sleep before a fishing trip. Still can't. I dream of that first kayak YT...j

When I was young it was really bad before every trip. Now I am able to sleep fine, except when I go on day or 1.5 day trips. I can barely sleep on the way out, tried everything but nothing lets me sleep on the way out. On the way in, sleep like a baby.
When I was a teen i used to fish the LB Naval shipyard mole with my buddy and his dad (retired). I'd always spend the night at his place the night before. Several times, my buddy, after not being able to sleep all night, fell asleep right before we left at 4 in the morning, and wouldn't get up. We'd leave him and he'd meet up with us around 10.

I'm lucky if I get 3hrs, usually 1 or 2hrs. Plenty of sleepless nights before fishing too. Mothership trip, forget about it.

I sleep at 12-1 at night and wake up at 4-5 in the morning. Even a short 30 minute nap makes a huge difference though.
