Maybe the idea of getting out of the house shares space with the need to leave homework behind. The night and early morning offer opportunities to escape the grind. Waveland Bowl, on Western, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As long as its not the weekend, you can easily get a lane at four in the morning and spend a few hours funneling aggression and insomnia away from you and into a set of pins designed to receive your angst. Go in, get loud, go home.
Nothing really cures insomnia more than productivity.
Use those sleepless hours to get things done. Sure, you can t vacuum, but you can clean house at a low volume. There are a few laundromats that will cater to your vampiric instincts as well. Imagine florescent lights and the quiet whirl of a washing machine on rinse. Personally, I ve spent many hours in diners.
