Does anyone else think it's as ridiculous to tell an insomniac to just go to sleep as it is to tell a cancer patient to just not have cancer?

No, it's a little less ridiculous. In case of the cancer, it can't just go away in the very next hour, in case of the insomniac, there is at least a very small probability that it might work.
-
Oh yes, that sounds about the same. Like telling a depressive to just cheer up.
-
Maybe not just as ridiculous, but it's poor advice at the very least.

the best advice for an insomniac is to tell them to shut their eyes for twenty minutes. it is almost like sleep, and can be very restfull. tell the cancer patient to start laughing, as laughter is the best medicine.
