That's why a major hotel change used an image of an open copy of Ulysses on the floor beside the bed as their theme for selling 'get-away and rest' weekend packages.
I used to read the a few pages of the dictionary during bouts of insomnia hoping it would induce sleep, but occasionaly I would come across and interesting word which would make me look up another word, and then another. I switched to Ulysses and didn't have a problem getting to sleep. Abandoned it completely when my insomnia went away.
