long term booze doesn't help.
as in, your insomina will adjust. unless you get slaughtered, and then you sleep but it's deep sleep not light sleep so you don't actually get any mental rest.

that's the trouble
it's adjusted to everything I've tried about from rocking the ganj.

hate to say it but you probably need to try a prolonged period entirely off the weed.
like, 6 months or so. Doesn't matter what effect the drug has - just because it's a downer doesn't mean it can't cause insomnia. Humans aren't adapted to process THC well, and you pick up all kinds of odd dependency effects from any drug

Course, it's totally up to you whether it's worth it - it might not be that at all - but if you definitely aren't stressed, that's what a GP is going to tell you.

you are probably right
I have been off it for months at a time before with no discernable improvement in how often I can't sleep.

and I'm sure that is what a GP would tell me. At the moment though it's not enough of an issue to take to the doc, just happen to be going through a bad period at the moment.

if you've definitely tried it
(as in being off it) then consider other things first, but it probably needs a long time - like 6 months plus - with dope to be sure, because like I said we don't really process THC well. That's part of why it's a good drug.

I'm sure that secondment stuff really doesn't help - some people just can't sleep in a different environment too.

I think the longest I've been off was about 6 months
but it was over my finals, when I was breaking up with my ex and then trying to get a job. Not conducive to good sleep.

I'm a really light sleeper which doesn't help. Basically any light or sound will stop me sleeping, so am usually equipped with mask and earplugs.

Sorry, but that was just begging for it.
