I have insomnia (it's 3:44 EST here in Virginia) and I can't sleep. Just say a real quick prayer cause I know it'll work better than an Ambien. Peace!

It's quite possible that God is trying to redeem your time. In other words, if you were busy all day long and hadn't much time to pray or read the Bible, He's wanting fellowship with you. You don't need us to pray for you, but you need to pray for everyone you can think of... family, friends, even people you don't like. Go thru every person you think of and specifically pray for them.
For example, you know your Mom stubbed her toe and broke it, pray about it. Ask God to heal it quickly. Maybe a friend is having a hard time finding a job, ask God to open up a door for that friend to get the job they need.
God may reveal to you while you are doing this, someone specifically that needs your prayer.
Don't worry about how long you pray, because when you fall asleep, you will wake up refreshed like you slept an entire 8 hours or better.
This has happened to me many times. God has allowed me to go to sleep for an hour and then awaken me to pray. I pray for an hour or so, go back to sleep and have the most restful night ever. It's just God redeeming my time. :)
But I will not forget you in my prayers tonite!

Ben, if a quick prayer was all it took to get me to fall asleep, I wouldn't be sitting here answering these on-line questions about God at 3:51 AM EDT. God bless.
