I know all of these suggestions are pretty lame, and show that my "insomnia" isn't nearly what some of you have suffered through. I feel like such a sissy after actually writing this out! But for me they are things that made a huge difference and maybe something will click for somebody.

One other thing that I would suggest is looking into a traditional chinese medicine diagnosis. After some research, I found that my racing thoughts were connecting to having a liver imbalance--so I found some foods to balance that out, and it really helped. It's the same imbalance that will make you obsess over thoughts or make you have a song "stuck in your head" or make you tend towards angry outbursts and impatience. Of course sleeplessness makes the imbalance worse soo...another catch-22 as several people have already mentioned. I am guessing that acupuncture would help as well, if you could get a consultation with a tcm practitioner first and figure out what your imbalance/syndrome might be. I am a HUGE fan of acupuncture, it truly does work, it healed me of a massive back injury and was the one thing that helped D with the depression that he had coming out of his illness.

It may or(more often) won't help me get to sleep, but then makes me so groggy the next day, that I'm noticeably less functional than if I hadn't slept, at all. The banana tea works 100%better, for me, and has the added bonus of providing the extra potassium to help with my RLS.

Hey, thanks for understanding. You might be surprised by how many people have told me that my account did not happen as I recounted—as if they were there watching me go through it. I think the sudden, abrupt, severe onset makes some think that the cause must be something else—depression, anxiety and even substance abuse (despite my complete lack of use) have all at some point been levied against me. It is actually really good to simply be heard and not judged—and I have been judged a lot. It seems that plain old stress just was not a sufficient answer but you recognize that so I credit you.
