Insomnia and the compulsive thinking that usually accompanies it are
excitatory symptoms. That means the brain is in a detox mode and there
may be underlying anger. You might try using this as a trigger to do
some releasing and redirecting of anger. This may make you feel more
awake and a bit high for a while, but then may be followed by a release
of GABA and other inhibitory substances, which could then help you fall
asleep. Detox crises are often followed by depression or a drug-like
sleep. I can't prmomise this will always work. The detox process is
periodic and physiological and affected by many factors, the least of
which is conscious thought. Also I can still have some insomnia dependidng on
what I ate. This means some toxins are backing up into my blood stream,
my brain may decide to get into a detox mode, and this can keep me
awake.
