Either that or painting (The latter is harder to do because the cats tend to want to help me paint, yet don't get the necessity of oppose-able thumbs ... umm...Opposeable? Opposable??? anyway....)
Since I have had sleep disorders since I was 14, I've got lots of practice at not sleeping (pity there was no internet then)... So, I either read, draw, paint, sculpt, or harass people on the opposite side of the earth who are all wide awake.
Ah, that puts the causal chain opposite mine - I stay up because I'm doing something, not vice-versa.
I used to be more like MatthewB, but now I'm more like RobinZ. I tend to stay up browsing the Internet, reading sci-fi, or designing board games.
The roommate idea has worked in the past, and I do use it for 'emergencies.' My roommates don't really take akrasia seriously, though; they figure if I want to stay up all night and regret it, then that's just fine.
Random ideas:
Set an alarm clock or two for the time you want to go to bed, so you don't "lose track of the time."
Find some program that automatically turns off your Internet access at a certain time each night.
