Hey Sid,
You are just keyed up from all that work you're doing. Let me say this - you're
doing a great job. If I get six hours of sleep, I feel very rested. Personally, I
go to bed between midnight and 1 a.m. and I'm up between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.. I get
a lot done during those last hours and first hours of the day  I've heard that,
as you grow older, you don't need as much sleep. I've never heard of Mirapex
causing insomnia. From what I've heard from PWPs in the audiences I've spoken to
is that there is a large percentage of them with insomnia.
