Insomnia was the second single released from British rock band Feeder's 1999 album "Yesterday Went Too Soon". It reached #22 in the UK charts and was at the time Feeder's 4th consecutive single to reach the Top 40.
When the single charted in the UK, it was their biggest hit at the time and got them on the popular now defunct UK music show "Top Of The Pops".[1] From there the bands awareness increased and the follow-up single "Yesterday Went Too Soon" cracked the top 20 and helped the album of the same name go top 10. The song referred to the bands experiences during their 1998 US tour in which Grant found it very hard to sleep at night, and so tried many methods much as drinking alcohol, taking Night Nurse in pills and other medications.
It also seen their only performance on TFI Friday, also a now defunct TV show.
