sounds to me like you have a problem with anxiety and the unwanted insomnia is only a symptom of the underlying cause.

you could try working out in the mornings (if possible), which will make you tired come night-- then again maybe you need meds+therapy (lots of us do).

also, the coffee-- oh yes. i won't go there until you're ready. but the coffee...

Well, if you hear about me going nutty some night, you'll uinderstand, I tried to work within the system. But as expected, the Bloomberg system is shit.

have you tried getting a white noise machine? i know it's not a cure-all and it won't get rid of bloomberg but might be worth a try in the short-run.

then again, a couple of rats and a few well-placed phone calls... might just get you in trouble with the korean mafia :(
