Why would I lose sleep when I really need valuable sleep just to recuperate and come back and do my job?

Sleeping is not something I do a lot of.

In sleep, you are safe from the revolting mechanics of living and being a prey to outrageous fortune.

The condition of sleep is profoundly contradictory. It is a precious good... but it is a good like none other, because to obtain it, one must seemingly give up the imperative to have it.

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?

Insomniacs tend to fall into two general categories - those who give up and those who don't. I don't. I refuse to admit defeat by turning on the light. I will not try to read or watch a movie, thank you. Productivity is a crutch of the weak.

When we lost, I couldn't sleep at night. When we win, I can't sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better.

Being an insomniac only slows me down. I try not to write at night, as I'm concerned that this will affect the quality. I might have a Scotch to keep me going, but I like to be as awake and as alert as possible.

The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.

I am an insomniac. Most of my nights include a moment of wakening. Often I will make my way to the kitchen to make tea and read for awhile.
