Brain scan is not recommended investigation for chronic insomnia. Please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation to understand the cause for insomnia and for further treatment. After a detailed evaluation, if needed your psychiatrist can advise you any relevents tests that needs to be done
Thanks
