Darkness, darkness

I've never had a problem sleeping. If I'm not sleepy, I don't go to bed. If I'm sleepy, I go to bed. That's my prescription for sleep. I'm lucky. I did a story today about insomnia. Roughly 15% of Americans suffer from chronic insomnia, including..reportedly, Michael Jackson. A woman who claims she was Jackson's nurse says he asked her to round up a drug called Diprivan. She didn't because it's dangerous. It's used in intensive care units and emergency rooms for surgery. A sleep expert I interviewed for the story said people with insomnia become desperate and will do anything to sleep. I've never really thought about it until today, but I'm really lucky I can go home and sleep.
