AAAAHHHH!
It's one thing to be awake all night because of a great conversation, or great sex, or great inspiration … but to be awake for NO FUCKING REASON? Fuck. Insomnia. Straight. To. Hell.

@Nick B.: Will check out the Lifehacker article, but I think it's just temporary stress. Haven't got a good night's sleep since a friend almost killed himself on his snowmachine Friday night… which I suppose is all the more reason to try and find a solution, since he's unlikely to be up and about for quite a while yet.
@Jack: Not that I noticed, and I think the dogs would have barked if anyone came in.

26th November 2008 at 7:20 pm | permalink |i've always found that reading makes me tired, when i read in a fully reclined position (ie: lying down).
also, you could try taking melatonin.

@grizzlybear: See, I can stay up reading all night. I probably would have done better in school if that weren't the case.
But melatonin! Don't know why I didn't think of that. I have a couple bottles of it around. Thanks! 
26th November 2008 at 10:52 pm | permalink |I don't know if this helps, but I've had trouble sleeping all my life. It sucks, but you're not alone I guess.
28th November 2008 at 11:07 am | permalink |@deeesseee: The melatonin actually really helped the one night … have you tried it?
28th November 2008 at 2:05 pm | permalink |At one point I was prescribed some pills for it, but they had the side-effect that it made it incredibly hard for someone else (or an alarm) to wake me up. By that time I had gotten so used to it I didn't care as much, so I dropped them.
