It's easier to cope when I don't expect to sleep than with pills that don't work reliably.
And I dislike doctors, accept life is meaningless and simply existing is acceptable when need be.

It is definitely very different for me. I have just had 8 hours of sleep. I will exercise today (I feel great), I will have the stamina to mostly stand at my desk, and I will tackle creativity-requiring projects. I will live, instead of surviving.
I would pound on the doctors to death until they give me a reliable sleep aid.
And safety, too: yesterday after 5 hours of sleep I used public transit to get to work. It was someone's responsibility to drive me carefully. In a month that will change - I will bike to work. 30+ minutes of biking on heavy roads one way. After 5 hours of sleep, it would be unsafe for me to do that. So back to public transit? That is self-defeating.
