Sounds like it might be migraine syndrome to me. As you well know, migraines can be a lot more than headaches. The visual stuff, even your depressed mood and sleep disturbances can be related to migraines even if you don't have a headache.
Of course, the cold and the Nyquil could also cause it.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that worrying about the insomnia is counterproductive. (OK, I really know I don't need to tell you that, and I know it's probably annoying to hear it.)
Hang in there and don't panic. Sleeping pills sometimes don't work. Insomnia is rotten to live through, but it may well pass soon. Remember the meditation. (And sometimes if all else fails for me, rolling my sleeping husband over and asking him to hug me tightly sometimes works.)
Good luck with it.
