Great. This is the second night in a row that I've gone to bed at normal time and woken up past 2am and not been able to go back to sleep. Guess the insomnia is a good indication of how well my work's going at this point in the term. (read: I am so screwed.)

I don't usually get insomnia, any suggestions on what to do to get back to sleep? I woke Denis up last night, but don't have the heart to again tonight.

I'm sorry I'm too late to be helpful with this, but I often find that reading something dense and not especially stimulating can help me fall asleep, like a textbook.

Warm drinks can sometimes help too.

i've been having a very hard time falling asleep at night lately. usually i end up playing monopoly on my cell phone. this is good because i can wait out the insomnia in bed, making it easier to feel sleepy, and it doesn't disturb dan because i can turn the volume off and i don't need a light on. usually after playing for an hour or so i fall asleep.

however, the best cure for insomnia is an orgasm.
