Actually *yes* insomnia has been reported with omega 3. Omega-3 has mood stabilizing properties but some people find that certain doses can cause anxiety and insomnia.
I personally have had insomnia with omega-3. I find it is the DHA especially that promotes the insomnia. If I get more than about 300mg of DHA per day it can lead to insomnia.
I do not recomend abandoning omgega-3 entirely since for me it has overall been beneficial. I just can't take too much of it.
