I suspect it's all the clicking in your head. ;-) (I can't even wrap my tongue around a "by rote" sentence drilled into me with a 'click' in it.)

for insomnia, I find that banging my head long enough to give me a concussion works. ;-)

Actually, if you are serious, new techniques are being studied with great success, that literally exhaust you first (and establish hard core rules for your body), then sorta reset your clock. In effect, you say to yourself "I will sleep between 12pm and 6 am (always 6 hours, not sure why). You ONLY use your bedroom for sleep.  You do other things till 12 (including getting ready for bed) then at exactly 12, you go to bed.  if you do not fall asleep in 30 (?) minutes, you get up and STAY OUT OF THE BED ROOM AN AWAKE for 4 hours, and try again.  Under no circumstance do you sleep past 6am. even if you are exhausted.  You become a bitch for like a week or two, but it really seems to be one of the best ways to reset yourself.  Of course, you need to be at a place in your life where you can have such strict hours.
