Q about Sleep

Hi, so as I've mentioned in previous posts, I had horrible insomnia for about three months. What would happen is at night time, I would feel wide awake and so clear minded (like it was the middle of the day), and I would literally lie in bed until 4 or 5 am until I would fall asleep for maybe an hour or two at a time. About two months ago, this stopped, and I eventually was able to establish a sleeping pattern for the past three months where I would lie in bed about 11 pm every night (after turning off the lights two hours prior) and fall asleep. When I would wake up, I would immediately turn on the lights, and this really worked well.

However, for the past couple of days, however, I've begun to feel that same "alive/awake" feeling at night again. I'm still falling asleep as usual, but I'm pretty terrified about the possibility of a reemerging symptom, one as horrible as insomnia.

What I thought was that through w/d, my body's circadian rythm was screwed up, but through melatonin use for three months and the light/darkness rituals for the past two months, I thought I had sufficiently restabilized my circadian rhythm. Is it possible I have some incurable insomnia issue that will never go away, or what's the deal? This really doesn't make sense to me.

It's not incurable, but it comes in waves like everything else when your body is out of kilter.
