Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Lullaby for Grown-Ups - John Mayer
Since we're on the subject of insomnia, I thought I'd post this video, based on John Mayer's song Quiet. The video's creator, Michael Dyck, writes that he wanted to make "the video I saw in my mind every time I heard this song." I think he did a masterful job capturing the frustration and resignation of a sleepless night.
Maybe this video will act as a kind of inoculant and that by watching it, we'll all sleep soundly tonight. (Here's hoping...)
