I just went back to my journal to read what life was like back when I started SR. My writing was rather depressing - not sleeping well and feeling awful during the day. I also wrote how I felt I was more prone to watching the clock since starting SR because there were "time rules". So I made some adjustments around the second week to change my focus. I wrote about how the insomnia had become my focus in life and how I was going to change that (turned the alarm away from the bed so I couldn't focus on time, would force myself to think about something else when any thought about sleep entered my head, and prayed thanking God for the good things I had instead of my usual cry for insomnia answers). My journal shows some real improvement in the second month. So keep with it and don't let the insomnia discourage you!
