I've battled insomnia off and on for almost 20 years. I've actually have had it under control the last year and half. I've done alot of the above, I think the one that made the hugest difference in turning the clock away and using an alarm. I have an internal "alarm" so I never used one.

The other trick was to start dimming lights 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. In the morning I open up windows and turn on all the lights. It helps reset my brain that it is now day time. I would do the same things with Jonathan when he was first born and got him sleeping through the night at 7 weeks.
