I don’t know about “happy joggers” but I sure know many happy runners. I really enjoy running. You should try it.

That is heavy duty running, unless you're running very slow. If you're hating it, you should change it up, alternate with biking and hiking, anything else. Life is too short to be miserable. I do a lot of running and my spouse is an ultra fitness type, but couldn't imagine doing something we hated.

Exercise is important and it helps establish healthy sleep patterns.
I wont downplay exercise however I think dietary habits are more important. The men that I know who have survived this career are all at a reasonable weight and eat well.
