Phillipa- I thought I'd clarify-
After using klonopin for several years for sleep, what started happening is I'd wake up earlier and earlier, in a wide awake panic. It seems as though I was developing a tolerance, it was wearing off, and then I'd wake up and panic. It likely was also messing up my deep sleep. After 4-6 weeks off of the klonopin, and no other changes (other than swapping daytime ritalin for adderall), the panicky early wakenings have vanished, and I'm sleeping sounder. Interestingly, nightmares also vanished.

As for excercise, how much time of day matters might vary per individual. I found I can do vigourous cardio classes as late as 6pm and still sleep soundly at 11 or 12, sounder than when I haven't excercised. But since it's a great way to wake up and to get endorphinated, that may be good reason to excercise earlier in the day.
