Anyone else suffer recurring insomnia? Know of any ways to help combat it?

GHB, drugs, lots of drugs.
I tried sober but i'll stay awake (for some apparent reason) untill I crash completely, something keeps me awake.
I've tried cutting out caffeine & cigarettes, working out in the morning and evenings, working extra hard at work, quitting weed, using melatonin, eating healthy and not too much before going to sleep, various herbs, masturbation/sex... nah, it's impossible.
nothing helps, I didn't sleep from sunday -> monday so now i'll probably stay awake untill 4-5am and wake up 2-6 hours later (depending on shift)
sigh. All I want is some sleep.

No Caffeine - absolutely none. Zero.
You are also going to have to wait a long time before the effects of the caffeine ware off.

I went a half year without, what's the reason for the long abstinence? Didn't know caffeine had such lingering metabolites. 
I've tried a plethora of pharmaceuticals aswell, all with too many side-effects.
There is no cure for me

I have been prescribed a plethora of sleeping pills and the only one that ever worked was like 50mg of saraquil and that should only be taken it you bat shit Cray Cray so the docs wouldn't prescribe it too me. Ambian has worked 33% of the time but its pricie as fuck.
So I play the game of little sleep if any for days and days and then sleep like nuts fir a couple. This week has been an added Shitty factor of not working. Hard work at least helps me sleep sometimes.

Seroquel is the bees knees but it's a disgusting compound. It'll knock you out stonecold even with tolerance but yuck, i'd rather not use that one unless it's ABSOLUTELY neccesary.

I have horrible insomnia although I have it mostly under control these days.. I used to go days without sleep regularly. I found the key to solving it was getting on a regular sleep schedule. Not exactly an easy task when you suffer from insomnia.. Getting plenty of sun during the day helps. Obviously don't drink anything caffeinated later at night (I find a cup of coffee even 4 hours before bed can still keep me up). Make sure you're getting up at a normal hour every day. Right now, to maintain my schedule I take ~200mg of DPH, 3 pills of Valerian root (not sure what it equals to, says 100mg root and then a 4:1 extraction that's 400mg for each) and 10mg of melatonin. I still have the occasional sleepless night, but for the most part my insomnia is gone. Sometimes I'll chug* a bit of NyQuil if I need the extra boost to get to sleep. Don't like to because then I feel like shit for the next day or two..
*I chug it because the normal measured adult dose does nothing to me, I take roughly 2-3x the adult dose, but don't bother measuring it because I'm lazy and don't wanna have to clean that cap.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

first off OP get 30-45 minutes vigerous exercise a day and make sure you wake up with the sun as well.at night start winding down.blue light from a computer is as stimulating as caffeine according to a recent study.dont go on the computer after about 7pm.then drink a few beers,have a carb heavy meal,and then have a nice fap sesh in yer bed taking care to have a nut rag as not to stain yer sheets.that will put you to bed like a fucking baby

Unfortunately the computer screen abstinence is out of the question. It's my major and I spend a lot of my time on here plus in my DAW.

If it's out of the question you might consider using F.lux.. I have no idea if it actually works but I remember reading about it awhile back.

I cut out caffeine completely last year and I actually sleep less now than I did before. It's just better sleep
