Answer:

Meditation and exercise will help to calm your mind and balance your emotions.

Quit the benedryl, all caffeine and and excess sugar. The spike and crash will only cause you to feel really crappy and not help at all with your insomnia.

After about 2 weeks, you'll feel you body start calming down and you'll be able to think clearer, focus easier and sleep easier.
