Insomnia

What do you do when you find it difficult to sleep?

Curse your fate?

Or take a sleeping pill, get psychiatric help?

Here is someone who has found it an advantage:

" Paul smiled and nodded and lifted a finger as if to promise greater miracles. We entered a part of the barn given over to countless mechanical music machines: Calliopes, robot orchestras, automated one-man bands, wind-up music boxes…
"We ascended another flight of the circular staircase and found ourselves in one of the most extraordinary rooms I've ever seen, up there under the high eaves. This was a workshop for the hand-manufacture and repair of small mechanical devices. Here Paul worked on his dentistry inventions. He restored small toys — mechanical banks, coin dispensers, Punch and Judy shows, music boxes."
