"Beeaarr!" with me, since i'm too lazy to switch accounts (sapnu) to answer this.
I at one point did relate, however differently. The weeks following my t1d diagnosis, I woke up COMPLETELY awake and stayed awake throughout the day. Now, I wake up sleepily as usual, and if I stay awake, later on in the morning I get tired. Not sure if this relevant either, but i've has neck problems rather than hours of sleep.

We go to sleep to stop feeling tired, dagnabbit!
Oof. Also relatable but thankfully not normal.

Alarm clock! Pah! Who needs them.
Just get your body clock to think that morning comes at three a.m. You'll never sleep in again.

Uan aa Boa, cities do not have to think on the global scale. London is a quite environmentally sustainable city compared to many other large ones. However, I do believe that you are correct about UK town councils versus municipal governance elsewhere. The key is for citizens to focus on smaller, more acheiveable goals rather than "auggh, save us from climate change!!!" Making cities more walkable is a good first step. Incentivizing clean and renewable energy sources is too (and has appeal to people who do not care about the environment but oppose depending on other nations for fossil fuels--Brexit may help with such sentiments).
Also, technology cannot be counted out entirely if a technological singularity is on the way. A super-intelligent AI may be capable of coming up with solutions that our head meats simply cannot.

Sleepwise, I'm not that healthy myself. I persistently stay up too late, often looking at a computer screen, and accumulate chronic tiredness to the point of once every fortnight or so going to bed at 7pm.
A few things help this for me periodically though they're hard to sustain.
One is no caffeine at all, and no food after 11pm. Both these things cause artificial stimulation, keeping me up when I'm fighting sleep.
Two is regular exercise, which makes a big difference, but I admit, I hide from cold weather a lot, and find exercise REALLY REALLY boring. I do it pretty much because I must, not because I want to.
The third thing is less screen time. However, the problem is, I really enjoy screen time, to the degree that if I force myself to avoid it, I just find life so incredibly dull. I love my wife and kids, and I love my friends, and I love my job, but I basically can't operate mentally at the level of normal human social interaction. There's basically never quite enough going on to keep me feeling engaged and happy in life. I know that's definitely not healthy, but I find myself not wanting to reduce this thing, because it makes me happy.

Same honestly. I love my family, but I'd be painfully bored to tears. 'Specially since they've got their own things, too.
Also I don't like physical work, so keeping up with exercising's hard. That said, winter's about to dump tons of snow to shovel,
and spring usually means my family plans out things to get rid of or renovate, leading to more physical work for me. :P

When I struggled with falling asleep constantly, I read somewhere that a ritual can be useful.
Just something one would do only before going to bed. Like drinking a glass of milk, stretching, anything really.
Another form of this ritual that may be more effective is using the bedroom appropriately: not turning it into the office, dining room, or gaming.
Basically, the place needs to not be associated with stress, excitement, or anything other than sleep.
After a while the mind may associate this action with bed time & help facilitate falling asleep. Placebo effect or not, it helped me back then.

Eh, that doesn't really work on me anymore. My nighttime ritual takes about half an hour, and involves brushing teeth, feeding guinea pigs,
saying goodnight to various discord groups, and writing down anything significant that's happened.
Thing is, I used to be pretty good; back before the clocks fell back an hour, I'd go to sleep at 12.
After the clocks fell back, I couldn't get to sleep until 1-2 if then >.>
(should've been able to by like 11)
edit: fixed many things I made booboos with

Night Light in Windows, Blue Light Filter in Android, and fl.ux on other platforms are your friends.
Exercise does not have to be boring (music and podcasts) or intense (just walk as much as possible).

It's been years since I've actually read issue 47 (The Great Wall of <countryname>). I see it and just always pick the frying pan/fire option.
With a reality tv star as President I hope he isn't actually considering option 3.
“Hold on there, hold on people!” says Tamara Carter of the Mozworld Broadcasting company. “We don’t have to take either extreme, all we have to do is make a TV game show out of it! We put deadly obstacles on the border and monitor it with television cameras! Those that make it across win freedom and citizenship, and those who don’t, well, let’s just say that our buzzards won’t starve. We could call it ‘Who Wants to be an Immigrant?’!”

It looks like we're going to finally get a real winter storm today and tomorrow across much of the Northeastern US. The snow comes so late these years. Once they get going, we usually get a lot of snow, but sometimes winter doesn't really begin until January or February, it seems.

Winter is nice, for walking. Riding a bicycle below -15 - -20 celsius is already kinda hard (just did that and got that blood taste in my mouth = sh1tty condition and not enough sleep) but below -20 °C bike is kinda sluggish because grease and oil tend to get stiff in those temperatures and when it's -30 °C you prefer not to ride a your bike at all. After winter (0-30 °C) cycling feels so easy and nice, fast! But living in a city, so I ride all year around. Free, ecofriendly, burning my fat and getting exercise = so some you win some you lose.

Winter's... odd. From my experience up here in Maine, we usually get one or two big snowstorms from late October to early December,
at which time the temperature drops dramatically. Then as you get used to it, mid January comes and starts hammering with a ton of snow,
followed by ice in February, and then slushy mush in March.
Course, some years vary from this. Two years ago, we were fine until mid-February and had our entire winter in ten days.
Last winter was odd, we had record-breaking cold late December, a warm and pleasant February, and then four (almost six) nor'easters in March.
(actually the nor'easters kept missing us so haha tri-state area.) Nothing like the Beast from the East over in Europe, but still.
I remember one year we just got snowstorm after snowstorm all January and February. A lot of people put up their homes for sale after that winter. >.>
Thus far, the year's actually going pretty much according to how I remember it. Maybe a little late for snowfall and a bit warmer, and less windy,
but this major snowstorm is a reassurance that things are back to normal. :P
edit: Forgot to mention, we actually had 8 wikipedia-worthy nor'easters in the span of a year. Usually there're only like 1-3. lol

I don't think I even remember it getting below 0°C a single time this year. Probably gonna hit us all at once in February again. Used to be we'd have reasonably cold winter with a decent amount of snow in December, now we have really mild winters and then blizzards.

Where I am, we've had the first snow yesterday and today.
While I like walking in light snowfall, when the snow underfoot is new and crisp (not sludgy), I hope it won't get too thick. I have places only accessible by public transport to go to over the next few weeks, and the whole system tends to become absolutely paralysed if there's more than a dusting of snow on the roads.
