Burning the Midnight...errr...early morning oil

When I was younger, I would usually go to bed around 9:30 or 10 pm. Then when I started graduate school, I would sleep 11 or 11:30 pm so I could have time to read and study. And then, when I left my job, I started sleeping 12 MN and now, much much later at 2 AM. I tried counting sheep, going to bed earlier but nothing. It frustrated me to no end (and still frustrates me until now) that I wouldn't be able to sleep even though I was tired unless it was 1:30 AM or 2 AM and I have to wake up early the next day for practicum.



I read an article in Yahoo, "Mars experiment help Earthling insomniacs" and it sort of shed light on the reason why I have strange sleeping habits,



Other research has shown that using a computer after dark,
working in a brightly lit office or other exposure to bright
light can mess up a person's internal clock, making it harder
to fall asleep.



So I guess the moral of the story is, avoid PCs after dark (yeah right, like I could do that) and turn off the lights, hehehe, at least that will save electricity.
