If I remember correctly, you're in the medical profession?  Both my grandfather and father suffered from insomnia.  Could it be hereditary? 

I’m not in the medical profession — I’m a physicist — but I’ve had lots of medical issues including insomnia. My thinking is your caffeine cutoff may be a bit late in the day; my insomnia went away when I started consuming no more than one source of caffeine — coffee, tea, or Coke — per day AND never consuming the caffeinated beverage after noon.
