My insomnia, strangely enough, doesn't cause me to be tired in the
morning. I also have auditory illuions --ie, hearing my name being
called in other sounds--

I WOULD    SUGGEST  seeing neurologist. Hearing things or auditory
hallucinations can be a sign of psychosis, but if  the only thing one hears
is ones name, then probably a good neurological workup could rule out any
organic problems.   I think you should probably see a trusted physician
instead of trying to relate your personal case on the internet.

You don't say why you have insomnia, or racing thoughts.  Not much to
go on, but try a hot, relaxing shower, and Soma (a muscle relaxer). Or
if you can get Xanax, that can help, but it can be addictive.  You
might want to try something longterm like Lexapro, or it's cheaper
relative Celexa (which is what I use).
