Sae,
I am a horrible insomniac and have done many strange things to beat it without much continuous success (All methods became ineffectual after a few weeks). I have found that Melatonin will put me down quite nicely and Vallarien root will keep me asleep. Just try them and you will see.
EvF,
I hear you on the compulsive introspection. I often get caught up analyzing myself to the point of doing nothing. I used to suffer from social anxiety so bad that I never left the house and I was sick at school to the point of leaving. I no longer suffer from that at all and I have also learned to dial down my introspection, after all, navel gazing is very close to cramming your head right up your ass! It is a great thing to figure yourself out but it is much more important to figure out the interactions between you and everyone else and what is your problem and what is their's.
As for no such thing as overanalyzing... I have been involved with several "taskforce" teams (I don't know what you mean by "scare quotes" I use quotes to indicate jargon or things not meant to be taken literally) where overanalysis killed our productivity. At Intel "risk taking" is a core company value. They made it a core value to speed up innovation; I think without it there would be a lot of "analysis paralysis" a state where everyone is caught up in covering every angle, such that no real progress is made.
