The ceiling fan just isn’t that interesting. I conclude this every time I suffer from insomnia, lying in bed for hours without wanting to get up but unable to fall asleep. I often set the stage for this wakefulness myself: too much caffeinated tea before I go to bed or researching something on the internet that puts my mind to work and makes it difficult to turn off.
My episodes of insomnia are generally easy to understand, with clear-cut causes and solutions, but insomnia, overall, is a major clinical problem in the United States.
