Words that rhyme with Insomnia
On the page, insomnia is a night-coded word; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the front /ษ/ that opens out at the end. Late-night songs reach for it almost by default. Engine returns: the perfect column comes up empty, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Lyric returns: a late-hours word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why insomnia rhymes the way it does
To understand why insomnia rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 106, assonance 6,544, and consonance 106. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Insomnia rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
