Environmental effects on insomnia

Home is the only place I can't sleep soundly. I've visited and lived in other places where I've had no problems. I notice at home I don't sleep deeply, nor feel well-rested, I get fluttering sounds in my ear, and it seems like I hear a constant light high frequency sound when all else is silent. Furthermore, when my son visits he also has a hard time sleeping. I've done some investigating, thought it may be due to the altitude (I live a mile high) I've tried unplugging anything from an outlet, I've also tested for EMF levels (my fridge emits the most, but only close range). I live 1 1/2 miles from an electric plant, 2 miles from an old landfill, 1/2 a mile from a dirt-digging site. So I'm a bit paranoid, especially since my house was recently paid off. My physical health may also be suffering because of this (joint/back problems).

How debilitating can insomnia be? Can you think of some possible solutions? Tweet
