I RARELY get more than 5 to 5.5 hrs during the week (I get up to hit the gym at 5am, M-F, since that's my only available time......with kids & other commitments, evenings aren't an option). I bite the bullet & get up since I'm committed to stay in shape & active as I age. I find motivation overrated, as it is an emotion, susceptible to life's ups & downs. We all have those days we don't feel like working out. Relying on persistence & determination will help you keep at it. On the plateau, try drastically altering your workouts for several weeks to shock your muscles. Go heavy (5-8 reps) or go high reps (15-25 reps). Try reducing rest between sets to 30 sec's. Try dropsets & supersets. Completely change the exercises you do for each muscle group. Etc. Etc. GOOD LUCK! You can do it. :D I can relate on the sleep.
