Concept for a 'Fitness manifesto'

As a Software Enigneer doing Agile Software Development for a living I was thinking about a 'Fitness manifesto' to get people (including myself) healthy and fit. Here is my concept : 

We are uncovering better ways of getting fit by simply doing it.

Through this we have come to value :
Long term structural motivation over short term motivation to keep training all our lives
Training smarter over training harder and longer to have energy and time to do other things also
Structural changes in our nutrition over short term diets to keep eating healthy
Maintain a steady improvement rhythm over trying to get fast results to stabilize our gains and improve from there

Though there is value in the 'over' items we value the bigger first items more to improve our odds to get and stay fit through reaching our goals as specified in the 'to' items.

Tell me what you think and add something through the comments yourself !

Eating carbs at night for better sleep

Bad sleep

I noticed last night my sleep is dependant on my carb intake at night. Normally I am low carb during the day and eat carbs at 15:00, 18:00 or after training. So last evening after training I decided to have no carbs but stick to proteine and fats (and have lots of them ;-). The reason for this I am eating out tonight with carbs. I was frying in coconut oil and going a little bit crazy on my home made coconut/date candy and the nut butters). This went pretty well. I was full and no carvings what so ever...

But the next morning at 5 o'clock I was wide awake and could not sleep anymore. So here I am with my morning coffee (with fats and proteins again) writng this blog at a ackward time ;-)

Conclusions

My sleep quality is influenced by my carb intake at night. Normally I eat carbs at 15:00 and 18:00. This would be things like home made pancakes, rice. potatos etc... and after a training session I add some more sweet stuff too to refull glycogen and reward myself ;-)

I hoped the fat intake would take care of good sleep but this does not seem to work.

The amount of fat I hade had no influence on my weight or bodyfat, they are stable.  

Possible solution  

I remember a tip from the poliquin website about sleeping well stating the problems with sleep on a low carb diet. The solution described there would be to take a cup of berrys (low gi fruit) to have some non insuline spiking carbs before bed.
