PRE-FLIGHT PROBLEMS?

It's half past three (AM) and, as usual, I am suffering from pre-flight insomnia, so will have to call it off.
Do others experience this, or any other, pre-flight problem?
Someone admitted that he always has numerous 'brown movements' pre-flight not, he claims, through anxiety but from excitement. He says it's not a problem because he always 'tightens up' before take-off, whereas I just want to sleep when in flight.
Any remedies?

I used to have that problem when I first started to learn to fly.Up all night before flying and up the night after buzzing about it.
A cure??Don`t know,done 530hrs and still get the butterflies before I fly.....Great feeling though Innit!Good luck and be safe.
