Default Persistent insomnia after a concussion 10 years ago!!!

My friend suffered a concussion almost 10 years ago. He has not been able to sleep since then. He has trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. He can go days without sleeping or only getting a couple hours sleep. This has been seriously affecting his life/relationships/work. Hes has tried every sleep med out there (benzodiazepines...ambien and the like...melatonin...benedryl etc.) Hes tried accupuncture, sleep studies, mri's (no brain abnormalities), meditation, hypnosis. Hes even been to medcine men, drank crazy teas, had prayer and blessings placed on him, all in effort to fix this problem. The only diagnosis doctors gave is PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and chronic fatigue syndrome (but thats a given since he cant sleep!!) Does anyone have any more ideas, treatments, meds that worked for them? Links? Doctors? Refrences?


Thank you so much!
