Insomniac With Coffee Addiction

Wow! Here's quite a piece written by an insomniac with an addiction to coffee. Is it the caffeine that makes him such a good writer! He speaks of giving up coffee to see if that was the cause of his insomnia, but he doesn't actually say if he made a link to it or not. All we do know is that without coffee, he suffers heart palpitations. But nonetheless, it's sort of horrifyiing to hear he describe his insomnia. Knock on wood, but I have trouble staying awake. My problem is not insomnia, but sleep deprivation from working a regular job, coming home and reading, reading, reading before dinner, then a quick dinner before I hit the computer. Tonight's a perfect example: at 9pm I was falling asleep at my computer and thinking I would go to bed, but the compulsion to do some stuff on my online art gallery website has me still slugging it out at 11:05pm. I'll be up as usual at 5:45am with not nearly enough sleep. So far, so good for me: an espresso right before going to bed acts as a good nightcap. But tonight, I dare not tempt fate having said that. I'm tired and need some sleep!
