Cool site, thanks!! What I found interesting is that the monograph for Celexa lists its elimination half-life of 35 hrs, whereas on MicroMedex they break it down into the mostly active parent drug, and then the relatively inactive metabolite (22-27hrs, 40 hrs respectively), and note that the elimination rates are similar to citalopram. That probably explains why citalopram doesn't upset my sleep as much (neither did Paxil), due to the shorter half-life of the active parent.
