NYTimes article on sleep

It's nice to see the editors of the Times take an interest in sleep and sleep disorders. I suspect that one or more members of the staff suffer from insomnia.
The article reports on a publication that suggests that insomnia may be adaptive in humans because...oh, I won't spoil it for you.

What I want to know is, do wild (non-domesticated) animals ever suffer from insomnia? And, what do they do with their time?
