You gotta watch this documentary on HBO about insomnia. You’ll see that our minor OCD tendencies plus some wrongness in our biological clocks and perhaps some anti-social tendencies, combined with our concern (e.g. these posts) for the world’s perpetual fuckupedness are what keep us on our “special” sleep schedules.

I’ve always known you’re smarter than me, dude, but _I_ never really considered the reasons why I like to go to bed at 4am and wake up at 2pm. And the documentary really sorts out the various variables. Dug it.
