New Comic Book Idea
As with all superheroes, the Insomniac's power comes somewhat uninvited and undesired: s/he is alert at all hours of the day and night to hear the cries of the needy. His/her fatal flaw is, of course, the ensuing narcolepsy, forgetfulness, and loss of coordination.

I'm sorry to hear that she has reared her ugly head. Of late, she's been leaving me alone.
"Anyway, he tells me he finds it profoundly reassuring that while we ordinary mortals are asleep, there exist lit rooms containing anxious, vigilant souls. A terrible responsibility, he says, devolves upon the poet, that requires her never to be fully awake or asleep: at night, wakeful poets buoy humanity to the surface, to consciousness, preventing our slumbering bulk from sinking too far; during the day, these same poets anchor the madding masses to the depths. The world will end, he once told me, when the final poet awake closes her eyes. Last night I woke up sweating, having dreamed of sinking with the rest of humanity into cold oblivion. Sure enough my Poet was fast asleep beside me—the first deep sleep she'd entered in more than a week. So I knocked a pile of books to the floor, and returned to my blissful slumbers, much comforted by the thought that at least one poet would wander the midnight battlements, keep watch, and preserve us all for one more day."-- Naeem Murr, "my Poet," which you can read here: http://www.poetrymagazine.org/magazine/0707/comment_179843.html
Julie, glad to hear you've been getting some sleep.
Erin, I love it!
And 'insomniac' has that maniacal ring to it! Awesome. (but yukky for those suffering.) Sorry to hear it.
