I really didn't read this thread, but the thread title caught my eye. When I was a sophomore in college, I had a bad case of insomnia. I spent hours in my bed staring at the ceiling and watching Lord of the Rings from 11pm to 7am. My sleep time was between class from 11am to 1pm. I was on two hour sleep schedule and playing NCAA baseball. This lasted for 90 days.

I felt like Howard Hughes in the movie _Aviator_ during the scene he was locked in his theater and reciting, "come in with the milk, come in with the milk, come in with the milk." Too funny now, but miserable back then. LOL.

Anyway, the cure was to shut down all distractions - school work, TV, alcohol and computer. The only thing I did was take long nature walks, drink water, eat fruit and veggies, and play baseball. Ironically, during this insomnia period, I had the best year in my baseball career - go figure :p After 30 days of this, I slept for two days straight. It was amazing.

By 2014, I bet a growing number of teenagers will have sleep dysfunction because of the growing number of screen distractions. God save us ;)
