Good sleepers are asleep most of the time they are in bed. As a result, the bed becomes a strong cue for sleep. Insomniacs, however, are awake, usually tense and frustrated, for about one-third of the time that they are in bed. Consequently, the bed becomes a strong cue for wakefulness and frustration. In fact, because some insomniacs are awake in their bed more than they are asleep, the bed becomes a stronger cue for wakefulness than sleep!

That's the advantage of insomnia. People who go to be early always complain that the night is too short, but for those of us who stay up all night, it can feel as long as a lifetime. You get a lot done.

N.P.


When I was a child, I suffered from insomnia. Summer nights, my parents permitted me to sit by the lake; I took the dog for company. Did I say "suffered"? That was my parents' way of explaining tastes that seemed to them inexplicable: better "suffered" than "preferred to live with the dog."

LOUISE GLUCK

Doom is nigh. I am in acute distress, desperately trying to coax sleep, opening my eyes every few seconds to check their faded gleam, and imagining paradise as a place where a sleepless neighbor reads an endless book by the light of an eternal candle.
