To the insomniacs still looking for a solution: I've suffered from chronic insomnia since I was teen (I'm 38 now). Last year I was diagnosed with Idiopathic-Hypersomnolence (which means excessive daytime sleepiness), and that of course can make coding difficult. I was prescribed a stimulant, which taken daily, has helped a lot (I'm alert during the day and therefore I sleep better at night). There's a few main classes of stimulants, and they all come with side-effects and for some may be controversial, but if you're still searching for a solution to your insomnia and haven't tried this, it may be worth investigating. The ones I know of are Methylphenidate (i.e. Ritalin), Modifnil (i.e. Provigil, Alertec) and Dextroamphetamine (i.e. Dexidrine). Take care. Good luck!
