maybe i'm not really a night owl after all...

TV and computers screw up your circadian rhythms...
why this article focuses on kids i'm not sure. if there's something to this, then it explains a lot, for me. also for my brothers, who both stay up all night playing online games, all the time.

if we're not supposed to watch TV, use the computer or read a book before bed, what the heck are we supposed to do? It doesn't take a half hour to wash my face.

yeah, i was thinking the same thing. it seems like even having a conversation or listening to music could be potentially mentally stimulating, and could lead to wakefulness.
when i had really bad insomnia, i did develop a pre-bed ritual that was helpful, involving a warm bath with candles and brian eno (ambient, not 70's-era). and melatonin.

Lisa,
I promise I'm not stalking you. I've tried accessing your page many, many times today. The page never fully loads dis-allowing me any further than yesterday's entry. I thought, I'd email you personally but cannot access a link to your email address. So, here I am hijacking your comment box. BUT not before I googled your name (in an attempt to get an email address)and discovered that you work for SAS. Do you still? Forget David Byrne & kissing strange NC boys, I'm gonna wring all the info out of you that I can about working there. This is the same place that is notorious for treating their employees so well, correct? They have a sprawling campus with all sorts of subsidized/or free activites and memberships, right? Ohmygod, ohmygod, now I'm having heart palpitations. I cannot wait to hear all about it. Are they hiring????

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
