Are you kidding me? It's 12am.

And everyone knows the Brittish drink tea, not the Danish.

Fine. It's the German. He's got a beautiful hexagon tank with several angel fish floating around in his ugly Green house. He drinks coffee as he smokes his Prince cigars. He can't sleep at night, partly do to the coffee, partly because he has cancer from the smoking. Fortunately for him, he has the fish to watch and relax him in his final days. He gets really annoyed with the Swed's dogs next door, but will sometimes borrow some warm milk from his other neighbor.

I can relate to the German who can't sleep...
