My instincts say that special places in Hell should be reserved for people who keep other people awake, or wake them up. It seems fairly clear that insomniacs would be greatly pitied due to their unfortunate difficulty in experiencing the Divine, and come to think of it I expect the Church of Snooze would be keen to fund medical research into helping them.
I'm less sure what the attitude would be toward people who stayed up all night voluntarily. But fortunately, I'm not actually considering founding the CoS, and hence I'm not actually required to solve all its doctrinal difficulties :-)
(Hmm. The unpleasant thought does, however, occur to me that I've inadvertently invented yet another religion which concerns itself excessively with what people do in bed...)

I wonder whether it would be similar to the position of homosexuality in some parts of society, with some claiming it's a lifestyle choice, others that it's genetic, others that it's a disease which can and/or should be "cured"; etc.
