I am a chronic insomniac.
Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. I've even come up with my own classifications of different types of my sleeplessness.
I tried all the given and usual "remedies". They never work more than once. Even if they did, building a dependency on things like that are unacceptable in my eyes.
I just kind of reached a point where I decided that insomnia is a part of who I am.
One bit of hope --
I have as of late begun rigorous physical training (martial arts). It doesn't help me sleep, but I feel more rested after my short sleep periods. I think that this has to do with changes in metabolism.
So yes, I recommend at least giving exercise a shot. It needs to be very rigorous exercise, and probably every day for a week as you don't immediately gain any benefits.
Oh, and leave several hours between when you exercise and when you go to sleep (although it is okay to exercise soon after waking).
