I have experienced some of the same problems mentioned here, and sometimes they have been compounded because of medical reasons or situations of life. I think, from my experience, the issue of insomnia and or inability to return to sleep sometimes is due to a subconscious or conscious thinking about issues. I have found great help through reading the Bible and praying at night, asking the Lord to help me have a good night's sleep. If, and when, something tries to come into my thoughts and keep me awake, thinking, I recite some things to my self that I have memorized. For me, that is usually a passage from the Bible. It helps to apply the principles of the Serenity Prayer to our lives.
