So apparently if you don't leap into bed after having your nose one inch from a bright computer screen, and if, in the morning, you make your shades ricochet up immediately so the sun radiates directly onto your face, you will get onto a "normal" sleep schedule and stop moaning to anyone who will listen about how you've always slept like a log and don't understand what's happening to you, etc., etc., blah blah blah.
You can read all about this interesting and plausible-sounding theory here. This article also contains a link to a free, downloadable program called Flux that alters your computer screen light, so it's more natural and less harsh. So you can still read fascinating articles, Google(TM) important things like "Mrs. Meyer's hand soap refills" and answer urgent emails just before nodding off, because you know you were never going to be able to cut that out.

Here's my embarrassing tip: when I'm having insomnia and can't relax my brain, I pretend that I'm in a scene in a play where I have to act like I'm sleeping. In trying to give a most convincing performance, my muscles all start to relax and my mind goes blank...my body is such a sucker that it falls for it every time and I actually fall asleep after a few minutes of "acting."
I know, how actressy of me...
i dunno abt the article. but thanks for the software. :)
I think that's a great idea, Wendy, and smart use of your skillz!
And Srikar, I'm glad you like the software. I've been using it and really dig it. I didn't realize how freaking bright my screen is.
