Having any trouble sleeping after Eternal Darkness?

I swear I had the worst night of sleep last night! Unfortunately I never remember my dreams, but I think I woke up like 7 or 8 times through the night. Most of those had me waking up with an overall anxious feeling, which I absolutely hate.

I had the same trouble when I started playing Silent Hill 2. Resident Evil never really gave me any trouble. But SH2 an ED seem like those games that just get in your head. Stuff just isn't right.

Anyone else having any issues? Or am I the only dork?

No problem sleeping, but I did have trouble getting to sleep wondering if I'd tried every spell combination with the runes I had.

I can't sleep because I'm up all night wondering when the hell Walmart is going to ship my copy.

Nope. This game hasn't bothered me at all. I can't think of any game that kept me up at night from being scared. Resident Evil was a little creepier (though I've only played through chapter 3 of ED), but that's probably just because it was more realistic graphically and had more cheap "jump out" scares.

I don't find the game that scary either. My problem isn't getting to sleep. It's what my head does once I'm asleep and no longer in control. That's the issue I'm having. And I can only assume at this time that it's due to ideas, scenes, and images from the game that I just stared at for the past 3+ hours.

I ran into some scary stuff today, but still nothing to keep me awake.

Spoiler:
After chapter 3, when running around the mansion looking for chapter 4 there was tons of cool, freaky noises. Like floor boards squeaking above you or around you, or a "bang, bang, bang" on the door you just went through. There's also a bust on the second floor that the head will turn and follow you if you sanity's low. Pretty cool.
