If you are one of these unlucky souls, the National Institution for Acute Insomnia (NIAI) has some instructions for you.
Tune into Sky Sports at 13.30 GMT today for the first ODI between West Indies and Zimbabwe.
The NIAI are confident that following 'the worst cricket match in history' played between the same two sides on Sunday, similar fare can be expected today (I exonerate the newly freed Sulieman Benn from any criticism). The added bonus being, of course, that today's match is 50 rather than 20 overs per side.
If in the supposed most exciting and fastest scoring form of the game, the two sides can only amass 184 runs in 40 overs, what woes await over 100 overs and how slow will Dinesh Ramdin's strike rate be this time after his peculiar 23 not out off 36 balls on Sunday?
The NIAI read reports of people falling asleep in the crowd and Sky Sports received several complaints from the few viewers that managed to stay awake after the commentators themselves were found to have nodded off.
So insomniacs of the World, don't fear help is at hand.
As a footnote, can you imagine the match fixing claims that would have been thrown at Pakistan if having had Zimbabwe 0/3 after 16 balls and then only needing to chase 106 for victory they only reached 79/7 in their 20 overs?
