That's... really just fine. You can't worry away insomnia, and trying to "force" sleep tends to just make it worse. Prescription drugs don't work, especially over the long run, and sleep training is the worst thing ever and would qualify as torture under the Geneva Convention.

I made peace with my insomnia by just letting it do what it was going to do. It's not like doctors have any real idea how to prevent or treat it, so why worry about something you can't control and can barely influence?

I have to disagree. It really depends on what's causing the insomnia and if there's an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Like, in the past I suffered for years from insomnia that was due to untreated depression and anxiety, and trying to ignore that was a bad idea. At other times (LIKE RIGHT NOW GODDAMN) it's just been caused by too much caffeine. I'd give suggestions (more exercise, less caffeine, chamomile tea in the evening) but I don't know what the OP may have already tried. So my only suggestion for the OP is to just try to identify the cause if you haven't already, and see if there's something you can do to address it.

I'm assuming OP has already taken the basic steps to rule out treatable causes like depression or evening caffeine. If it's not a symptom of something else treatable or caused by diet, you're pretty much just stuck. Some people have some luck with exercise, etc, but they're in the minority. For people like me there is literally nothing that "works" for more than 48 hours, and the insomniacs with whom I commisersate say the same thing.
