>Well, it turns out that insomnia is largely a form of performance anxiety that accrues over years of episodic poor sleep due to stress, travel, environmental changes, etc While his scientific method is great, this guy is making the same mistake that most people make, which is thinking it is all in your head, and can be fixed by changing your thoughts. People make this mistake because they notice that when you are more relaxed, you get to sleep quicker and visa versa. This is true to a point. You can gain an extra 30 minutes or an hour if you are in the right mood, but this is only a small change either way of what your natural rhythm is already set to. You can't change it any more than that by thinking. Sleep schedules are hard coded things that work by physical means. Long story short: wear full blue blocking glasses for 4 hours before bed at night (especially if you are using a computer), and a SAD light smack in your face first thing while eating breakfast in the morning, and you'll never have sleep trouble again. You can get very cheap versions of both on ebay or wherever, you don't need the fancy $100+ ones.
