Do you feel like you have a greater penchant for insomnia because not believing in religion means it is on us to solve the world's problems? Or do you sleep better knowing you have not succumbed to the hysteria that is organized religion?
I am definitely of the "insomnia due to the weight of the world on my shoulders" breed.

I don’t think any insomnia I have is due to the weight of the world on my shoulders from being an atheist. Rather I think about other everyday concerns...Work, my children, finances etc.

My insomnia is not usually to the weight of the world and certainly not religious in nature . Mostly due to this old brain not ready to sleep, current personal situations and some anxiety in general.

Nope! It is not the weight of the world. It is anxiety in general, hormones, and lack of exercise that can keep me awake

I'm in the "insomnia because caffeine" camp ?

I sleep better knowing my night terrors aren't real.

My kicking that religious bucket has made me feel so much better about life. I loose no sleep because of it.

Well it is 3:54 a.m. my time so I'd say I have insomnia tonight. But I'm not sure it is the weight of the world. Mine seems more to be existential angst

I feel like I sleep much better knowing that the rest of the mixed nuts on this rock are handling the praying for something to get fixed. If I can fix it, and it needs fixed, and the praying hasn't fixed it, then I'll get around to fixing it. Making me more powerful and more important than the imaginary friend they are praying to and putting all of their trust in.
