I've heard that Da Vinci took that approach, and have always been
curious about it.  I've been struggling with sleep for severl years,
trying everything from strict schedules to 32 hour days (which didn't
work well).  Thanks for the resources, gives me a new direction to
look.

When I was 14 or 15, I played with LD a bit.  Never really mastered
it, but it's stayed with me in a limited fashion over the years;  once
in a blue moon I'll realize I'm dreaming during sleep - at which point
I usually start working on finding solutions to really convoluted
problems.
