As been said, more sleep not less. Also, how's your BMI? If you are obese, get rid of it.
For me, I found riding was getting pretty boring & the whole getting ready ritual was a real nuisance. So, I started interval running, then HIIT training, hiking, trail running, kettlebells. Now going back to my bikes is fun when I have the time, and all rides are joy rides.
Perhaps I am a weirdo, but full time riding seems punitive to me; a couple of times a week is plenty. There are so many other things to do, and you can find much tougher, full body workouts for the spare 30-45 minutes you have.
