Need to discover why: You have not posed a question but rather put a question mark after a statement. Here's my comment to that statement thou. You'd be better advised to seek a physician who is interested in figuring out the cause of your insomnia and addressing that as opposed tojust trying to knock you out with medication. You'll neither be cured nor grateful to the doctor willing to accommodate. Good luck

Sleep Hygiene is Key: Retire & rise same time each day. Keep bedroom dark & cool & use only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv. No naps. Exercise regularly but not in late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or tobacco w/i 2 hrs of sleep. Keep dinner moderate sized & finish at least 2 to 3 hrs before sleep. Can try warm milk, Chamomile tea or melatonin along w light reading, warm bath or lavender scent.
