Zandopa and insomnia?

Has anyone found that zandopa causes insomnia, more so than prescription carbidopa levodopa or other forms of Mucuna?I have only tried zandopa a few times, but it seems that both times I had some wicked insomnia. Yesterday I took a small amount of xandopa at 7:00 p.m. and then tried to go to bed around a normal time. The sleep graph that my Fitbit gave me for my firy (3-hour) sleep block showed the most restless sleep I think I've ever seen on my Fitbit. I was then awake for at least 4 hours before I was able to sleep again (this is a problem I commonly have, but not to this extreme).
