is it normal to try to fix other people’s problems in order to avoid your own?

sometimes we build. sometimes we destroy.

also, note that i’m still up, another night at 5:00 am. i not kidding when i say i don’t sleep. besides over-exercise (which doesn’t work) and drugs (which i don’t want), can anyone think of ways to readjust my circadian rhythms? any super-effective zeitgeibers?
