Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Insomnia, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. I have, for the second time, removed the material you attempted to add to the insomnia article. As per my comments before, the stuff you mention is neither a cause of insomnia nor a treatement. It may fit under sleep hygiene, but not insomnia. Also, please read up on how to properly WP:CITE sources so you don't have to keep attempting to manually add sources to the reference section.

Addition to "Melatonin"

When I try to add a few lines including references I get the message site error 3. Here is what I'm trying to add.Rhansler 16:18, 8 November 2007 (UTC) Rhansler[reply]

Since it is principally blue light that suppresses melatonin, ^[1] wearing glasses that block blue light Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). in the hours before bedtime.

The refname format can only have one word and a set number of characters. Put it in inverted commas like this :<ref name="Kayumov 2005"/> and you get around the problem. e.g. wearing glasses that block blue light ^[2] in the hours before bedtime.
