   I'm sitting up at 12:30, I have to be up at 6:30 for work. I am not tired in the least but I know I will be tomorrow. I blame Nanowrimo, it's starting to take over all my thoughts...I can't sleep because I'm thinking about what I will be writing tomorrow.

   PrettyDarkHouse has the perfect remedy for that UW... She recommends 'Intense' Dreaming of Daniel Day Lewis

         Yep... But Make sure you're able to moderate the level of 'Intense.'

      Could you post a link of that? I love Pacman.
      It's 5:50 am here, and I can't sleep either. But as I have to be up and fresh at 8am, why bother trying to get to sleep anyway now?

      I just don't worry about it. No big deal, one night no sleep - the other night I'll sleep like a baby for 14 hours

   Whenever I can't sleep I get up, have a couple of cups of coffee, and then I can sleep - go figure.    ("Sleep coffee" has to be mild, have a lot of cream in it, and have one sugar in it. It's great for producing lethargy.     )

       What if we are dark souls living in dark holes with only unsuccessful actions of darkness?

          Perhaps jogging 3-5 hours would help your dark mood, endorphines and all that good brain stimuli?

    Sleep? Who needs sleep? I haven't had a full night's rest since I was a teenager. Staying up til 1a, 2a, etc. and getting up to get the kids to school is nothing new.
    
    Sitting in front of a droning TV always puts me to sleep.
