One mans's meat.
For the last year or two, I was having trouble getting to sleep roughly once every other week, but this seemed to be increasing. For the past month this hasn't been a problem.
It may be a coincidence, but that's also the time I ditched an aggressive happy-meatarian (i.e. free range or veggie) lifestyle. I was finding it way too much work to be sure meat was outdoor reared, so was essentially vegetarian. Partly because I found a veggie diet hard, but the possibility that the insomnia may have been diet related was a factor. I had been putting it down to stress, but I wasn't feeling all that stressed.
Would do some experimentation to work out what I might have been missing but that would involve periodically making myself miserable and sleep deprived and I'm actually enjoying this sensation of being able to sleep.

Right. Pretty certain that was the problem. Meat seems to be adding something I was missing but don't know exactly what.
"Thirdly, try meditating."
I did find sitting in a dark room with my eyes closed until I got bored worked pretty well when I wasn't sleeping. Is that meditation? Seemed to work anyway.
