Insomnia: Please define what you mean by weird. Insomnia can be frustrating. Try to regularize your sleep times. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, electronics, ; bright lights before bedtime. If it persists, consult a sleep medicine specialist to evaluate ; treat your insomnia, as it could be secondary to another medical issue. Hope that helps!
