I'd be game. Be nice to have something to show people it's a real disorder and not just because my bodyclock is out of sync.
I think food can definitely affect how bad my Insomnia will be of a night, particularly what I have for supper. For me I don't think it's sugar – I once ate a whole box of chocolate cookies (I think) and it knocked me out over night. Haven't been able to repeat the process although it's been fun trying 🙂
I'm in the middle of reading Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a strange land and I'd quite like to be Jubal Harshaw, but better looking 😎
On a regular day, I'll settle for Batman!
Can't think of any girl characters I'd want to be 😮

Didn't realise you were such a Gourmand! 😆

Will do! 🙂
I'm currently writing an e-book to self-publish. It's supposed to be a comical look at my daily commute and the odd things people get up to on my train journey.
I keep telling myself it's a start. 1000 mile journey begins with a first step and all that 🙂
'Tommy wrote on '17:Could happiness be the key ingredient to curing insomnia?
Yes.
I've had a few good months of decent sleep after starting a new job in September. I was suffering from not being able to get to sleep and also not being able to stay asleep. This then changed to having my few usual hours of staring at the ceiling followed by falling asleep around midnight for at least 6 solid hours.
At the time I didn't equate it to being happy to be earning money again after being unemployed for so long. I thought it was to do with the shift in patterns and being tired after a 9-6 day, my commute, learning a new job etc.
Now however, I am not enjoying my job at all and I'm already fantasising about leaving. I'm miserable, stressed and I can't relax despite doing Pilates and Yoga in the week and attending a meditation session once a fortnight. As a result, I'm now averaging about 3 hours sleep a night and the usual signs of caffeine dependency, pessimism and irritability are back.
My insomnia is born of my sad situation, but not being able to sleep increases my levels of despondency and the monster only grows. I am certain that happiness and general mental wellbeing is key to a good night's sleep.

iPhone or BlackBerry?
Blackberry! High build quality, king of push email, organiser of riots and a QWERTY keyboard to boot.
Best Bruce Wayne/Batman? Michael Keaton's or Christian Bale's?

Baroque (mid 1600s-mid 1700s) or Classical music (mid 1700s-mid 1800s)?
Definitely Classical.
Back to Star Trek: New Kirk (Chris Pine) or Classic Kirk?

Like this one?
Malteasers! I can get through a 'share' in 5 minutes and still want more.
Also ready salted Kettle chips and Fruit and nut chocolate. Together of course – one block to two crisps.
Well, if you're going to be bad, you may as well be REALLY bad 😎
