I think the not sleeping on Sunday nights is more likely to be due to low-level stress about going back to work the next day. Anyway, a more sensible and pleasing way to conduct your experiment might be to eat EXTRA chinese on other nights of the week.

Yes, this has always been my assumption too. It was only when Owen pointed out recently that Chinese food was also a possible suspect that I thought it might be worth experimenting to find out which was to blame.

This was suggested before as well :-) The thing is, if I do that and then have insomnia, then I still have to test leaving out Chinese on a Sunday, so the whole process takes longer to produce a definitive result. Better to test straight away in the environment I will eventually want to run in, is my philosophy.
