This thread is a great idea. But with all these repositories we almost need a repository repository. Or a book summarising all of the stuff on this site. It is starting to be too much.
I share the concern about navigation and size, although lesswrong is far more legible than most long-running blogs, forums, and community projects of a similar size.
Maybe you could bring it into a more general form. With tags, standard comments, a template. Then other people can suggest further topics without fearing interference with your schedule.
Sleep is possibly not the best starter as I think this has been discussed a lot. I would have liked commuting more. Other ideas for next topics could be people skills, daily chores, dating, reading techniques, parenting, programming.
A comment (possibly with a poll) about the next topics might be a good idea.

Stress/Mental health
Finding and doing music, art, cultural events
Tourism/How to visit places/Long-distance travel.
Formal education topics?

I take the above to be the Meta Comment.
I think this is thread is a good idea. Thoughts:

What would “standard comments, a template” mean?
I like your list of ideas. I think commuting/travel/transportation would be good next. I suspect that programming is too niche.
Have a look at the thread listed in http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Special_threads
Most have a ‘rules’ section and follow some common format.
