What Could Cause Insomnia?

Hello, i was curious about what exactly i may or may not have, i know i need to see my doctor.
-insomnia(lay in bed clear minded, sometimes not clear minded, never matters.)
-irritability(ive always had a whiplash tongue, but there are points when even i notice im being more of an ass than normal)
-depression(no i dont think about killing myself or start crying, i just feel completely unaccomplished in my life goals-im 22 make 60k a year and own my own home, no reason to feel like that- and i think of past relationships and it gets worse, and i think of every possible situation where i have felt "broken" in the past and it just festers in me, i do tend to abruptly break out of the depression for no reason.
-umm High sexual arousal- dont know if thats a symptom but all day..almost every day, sex sex sex. its annoying to how much and to the extremes my mind goes. and no my sex life is not active, i work 60 hours a week, -12 hour days- makes it hard to have any pleasure.

Insomnia is a very common symptom these days. However you also point out that you have increase arousal, low frustration tolerance, along with more than average work output. My advice would be to decrease the working hours to optimal level that suits you. Don't take work stress home. Avoid psycho stimulants like caffeine, tea and nicotine preparations (including cigarette) after evening. I believe that with the kind of work out put you claim of, you are not likely to suffer from depression. Little bit of relaxation and sleep hygiene is probably all that you need.
