Yes, I am getting the required 8 hours a night of sleep to nurture my brain. The trouble is, I am not doing enough relaxation stuff to keep my brain cooled off.

I have seen people's overall and everyday personality change once they changed their eating habits. Great subject to bring up, Damien. Speaking of which, are you getting any sleep while getting ready to move?
