The worst thing is that I write e-mails to people in the middle of the night, when everything looks, well, dark, that I would not write were I sitting in sunlight. It's better to stay away from the computer in the middle of the night. Just a thought.

To fall asleep faster and sleep longer visit http://blackoutez.com. They make a window cover for night shifters that totally darkens the bedroom. They are easy to install, easy to use, and work with your existing window treatments. I use them and they work great! I only wish I found then sooner.

Some steamy jungle monkey sex might impact your circadian rhythms and chronobiology in your favor. Even if it doesn't, it might be more fun that Sontag.

Fortunately, I suppose, I rarely have insomnia. One instance within the past few years came about when my doc switched my statin medicine, and I found the new meds led to inability to fall asleep stretching later and later into the night (eventually into the wee hours of morning). Let me tell you, I got off that med pronto.

Now, me, I'm a night person anyway. I rarely go to bed here until midnight or after, but then rarely arise before 8 a.m. -- one of the benefits of retirement cum no kids cum able to schedule shoots for no earlier than 10 a.m. cum my wife who arises at a similar hour (although she retires up to two hours earlier -- the longer sleep period is caused in part by minor sleep apnea).

So, based on limited experience, I sympathize with your condition, although I must admit some envy of your opportunity to concentrate on Sontag with no distractions.

I share your problem, and I can not offer up a reasonable solution.
Large doses of alcohol will knock me out for a few hours, but then I wake up and feel like shit. Not a good recommendation, but sometime needed in my case, both for the sleep and the alcohol intake.
