It's a bit late, but as someone who will go through several days of insomnia without heavy sedation (alcohol doesn't count; it won't keep me "under" while sleeping), some, all or none of the following may be helpful.
* Sleeping schedule... may or may not help. I have been known to put myself to bed at 9 p.m.... and still be awake at 3 staring at the frigging walls. * Kill your alarm clock light. There is some evidence that red lights in particular are bad for sleeping areas (hell if I know why, I just read the research). I know there's probably fancy ways of doing it, but I just throw an unused pillowcase over mine. * Don't sleep with the TV on. * If you exercise regularly, don't do it late at night. (I admit, I break this rule often as an ultramarathoner, but I really don't have much choice in that area.) * If you really need the caffeine, don't have any after 2 p.m. Ideally, don't have any at all, but... yeah. Stick with the 2 p.m. rule if you can't drop the coffee habit. * If you're a napper, don't nap more than 90 minutes, 2 hours at the most. Any longer will jack up your sleeping schedule. * Don't eat big meals before sleeping. * Meditation before sleeping might help (it sometimes works for me). As for reading in bed, limit it to twenty or thirty minutes.
A sleep test may or may not be helpful if you have insurance (don't try going to one without it; if memory serves, it's like $1500). The only thing they concluded from mine is that my waking terrors make me a violent bitch (just ask the poor bastard I punched at the last one), so your mileage may vary.
