>>>Woke up and can't fall asleep. Before 3am I will try to fall asleep, after that I just give up and have a very early breakfast and read. It's just a trick but if I fight these occassional fits of insomonia, I feel exhausted, but if I go with the flow it's not so bad.

I read till I go over the same section again and again, then realise I haven't taken it in. Then I put down the book and drop off immediately. Otherwise I'm a life-long semi-insomniac. I'm more or less indefatiguable.
