It's interesting that you found a benefit in the short term, but that your insomnia eventually came back. Did it really come back even worse, or do you think that's just your perception because you were free of it for those six weeks? I agree that it would be interesting to see a comparison of stress vs insomnia according to country. I think it would be difficult to directly compare though as 'stress' is very subjective and no doubt the interpretation of the word varies across cultures. Thanks for sharing.

The caffeine reduction method worked for about six weeks for me and then my body adjusted and the insomnia was worse than ever. I agree that American society is caffeine saturated and that it's probably going to cause health issues. Reduction may even help a lot of insomniacs. I just really doubt it's a panacea. My insomnia is mostly stress-related so of course I'm biased toward that idea. However, it would still be interesting to see what the statistical comparison would be between stress levels and insomnia levels in a variety of countries. Our culture may be giving us insomnia.
