Sleep/Insomnia Question...

It's not just that I don't sleep, I'm wired, at least physically, all night, no matter how much sleep I've gotten and how tired I should be. This week I've had about 14 hours of sleep since Monday morning.
I always have occasional bouts of not being able to sleep when I try to go to bed, but they always seem to become the most chronic during the springtime.
So my question is: has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have insights into what could be the cause? My diet doesn't change much throughout the year, and I've experienced this while living all over the country... the only thing unique to Spring that M and I could think of was the extra sunlight, like some kind of reverse seasonal affective disorder (which I've sometimes thought of myself as having, since eventually the insomnia makes me more prone to depression). Idunno. Thoughts?
