         That's a good question. Unfortunately, I'm an insomniac. I have many, many thoughts but many of them are not before sleeping, lol. It drives my significant other nuts. He doesn't sleep much, maybe four hours a night, but there are days when I don't sleep at all. I get a little punch-drunk after the twenty-four hour mark has passed. Thoughts swirl through my head all the time until my body is just so tired I pass out.

         When I'm finally able to hit the pillow with moderate success of sleeping, I try to give thanks to the universe for my family and friends. I try not to, unsuccessfully, think about the impending things that have to be done the following day. I try not to, also unsuccessfully, get creative. That's almost impossible. Some of my best ideas come right before I need to clonk out. Probably why I don't sleep much, lol.

         So, there ya go. I'm one of the several individuals on Writing.com that doesn't sleep. Has anyone ever done a studying in people with insomnia and creative careers/personalities? If not, we really should do one. What does everyone think?
