Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
There is an article, written by Dr. Rack, that discusses the use of Klonopin for insomnia. It is on the Sleep Disorders site of Health Central and may answer some of your questions:
Secondary Insomnia and the Drugs Used to Treat It
As you can see from the article, Klonopin is sometimes used for insomnia.
I hope this helps
