As another person who used to be chronically sleep deprived, I now put sleep BEFORE exercise. All the exercise in the world won't keep me healthy if I'm not getting enough sleep. Plus fatigue is a stressor and thus an IBS trigger.

Power naps are also a proven way to improve your cognitive functioning for the rest of the day. Studies have shown that a 15-20 minute power nap improves scores on tests, etc. But anymore than that caused grogginess. It was in the NY Times Science section a couple of years ago, Jane Brody's column. (She's terrific -- she's been promoting a low-fat, healthy fiber diet for years. I have all three of her cookbooks.)
