I switcthed to barefoot shoes for hiking and everyday. They are the opposite of sturdy, but well worth the investment. As a guy in his late forties, I have fewer little nagging pains.
Running shoes because when you wear ill-fitting shoes, you will hurt yourself eventually.
daaaaad!
Core developer of an open source software suite here. We make money by doing the following things:
- We offer a free and open source community package that has the basics. However, we offer a number of professional packages that we offer yearly subscriptions for.
- We host our software. We charge by the number of active users.
- Custom development.
- Paid support like migrations or troubleshooting. Also helping external developers develop custom modules.
This allows us enough income to develop the community part of the software.
Dvorak. I switched back in 2005 from qwerty and never looked back. I never looked forward either, so I may try out Colemak at some point in time. Workman looks solid for English, but I am not a native English speaker.
Counter question: why do you think that you cannot get enough sleep? Do you feel sleep deprived? As somebody else mentioned earlier, you may not need as much sleep.
A few general tips that may or may not apply to you:
- No more screen time at least an hour before going to bed. Read a book instead. Blue light will mess with your brain.
- Do not drink caffeinated drinks or alcohol. I usually stop drinking caffienated drinks around 3PM. I do enjoy a beer though, but I do not have any trouble sleeping.
- When do you eat your largest meal of the day? You may simply be too busy digesting your main meal.
- Do you suffer from anxiety, depression or any other mental issues that may prevent you from sleeping? Maybe it would help to have that looked into.
I normally sleep from 10:30-ish to 6:30-ish. As for running, I mostly do that either late morning or late afternoon, as my energy levels are highest then. However, I have school going kids and a 9 to 5 job. I do not know your situation, so YMMV.
If you were ever here, how did you solve this?
Simple. Just stay friends. I left a job 15 years ago because the CEO was an asshole. However, our team was great and I still visit some of my old colleagues regularly.

I have krunner with the man plugin enabled. When typing man:X in the krunner prompt, a window opens with a nicely styled man page.
I recently told a seven year old that I am a wizard. I already have the beard and being a programmer, that is exactly what my customers feel about my work.
