Tom,

I have been preaching this for over a year. You can search some of my older posts. I truly believe in many instances, particularly the very long standing cases, that insomnia is a manifestation of TMS as described by John Sarno. Sarno is no quack either. He runs the back clinic of the Rusk school of medicine at NYU and is sought out by the most notable professionals with back pain. You are a bright man, Tom and you now truly understand the elusion that insomnia created. One distinction that I will make; however in your conclusion, is that Sarno states that back pain or other applicable alminent serves as a "distraction" from repressed anger or frustration that we want to avoid thinking about. Thus, the subconcious creates the aliment as mechanism to distract us from the other problem. The real clue is the duration and the level of obsession with the aliment. If you are constantly thinking about it and nothing has cured it, then it is likely a manifesation of TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome). Good book, glad you mentioned it and your epihany was spot on.
