Well, yes, because the sandman is not a real person.
Well, Jonathan, deal with it.
I’m sorry, but the issue you have with my initial statement is unclear to me and, frankly, your way of challenging it is somewhat childish. I certainly understand and respect the sentiment of the submission—insomnia sucks—but the phrasing seems to indicate someone separate from the submitter is preventing the submitter from falling asleep. This would make sense if, for example, someone were making a lot of noise nearby, but in the case of true insomnia, it is caused by various conditions affecting the person. Thus, my attempt at clarification, which you seem offended by.

Who are you asking to let you fall asleep?
The sandman. Got a problem with that, Jonathan?
