I don't use almond milk myself. I did use rice milk in the past and it doesn't act like milk in that it won't thicken without help.
A comment about the sleep, though... when I went gluten free I found that I had started increasing the amount of potato in my diet because it's a common substitution in many of the gluten free products. Potatoes give me insomnia. If you do find you have a problem with potatoes, too, watch out for the ingredient "vitamin A palmitate" as it's potato based and added to a LOT of foods - including all of the almond milks I've looked at.

I like almond milk. I cant even sip cows milk the thought of it makes me ill-
the only thing is it does have a good amount of sugar as far as I know. It makes my blood sugar go crazy. i think there is an unsweetened version but I havent tried it yet.
I dont cook with it, heck I dont really cook at all anymore

oh, darn forgot about the sugar, but I drink or use very little milk ..
I don't feel up to cooking and it is so hard to eat right when you aren't up to shopping and cooking.
Have often thought what if I just eat a little of anything I want, that seems to work better for me, I think ..
When I am having my often bad days I ask is it the medicine, what I have eaten or what I have smelled. So sick and tired of all this.

The unsweetened vanilla almond milk is good on cereal. It also works well to make oatmeal creamier. I like the "Pacific" brand the best.

We use the unsweetened vanilla as well. I like it. Never cooked with it though.

Trader Joe's has a good almond milk, both sweetened and unsweetened. I use it to make smoothies.

I love almond milk I drink it with cereal or mix it into a smoothie. I've never tried cooking with it, though...
