 ==Description==
-'''Insomniac Beats''' will make a high LAG, so the graphics on the screen won't synchronize with the sound. You need to listen to the music carefully, or count 1-7 in your mind. In any case, '''Don't Trust Your Eyes!'''
+'''Insomniac Beats''' essentially work in the same way as a classic beat. The hit timing relative to the previous hits will stay the same, but the beats are able to pulse in any way. This gimmick is mostly used with additional visual distractions, and occassionally audible distractions.
 ==Levels==
 *[[Battleworn Insomniac]]
 *[[Super Battleworn Insomniac]]
 ==Cueing==
-In custom levels, show a regular [[Classic Beats]] first, then set the row to "Electric" using a Paint Rows event. You can then mess around with the pulses using Free Time Pulses, but keep the first and last hit the same.
+A regular [[Classic Beats|Classic Beat]] must be showed first to show the timing of the hit. Then, the row's effect is set to "Electric" using a [[Paint Rows]] event (this will also cause the audible cue). Afterwards, the pulses can be placed in any way using [[Free Time Beats]], as long as the hit timing remains the same as before the cue.
+It can be thought of like a [[Oneshot Beats|Oneshot Beat]]: the first beat is on "Get," the hit is on "Set," and the next first beat is on "Go." So, any beats can be placed between the "Get" and "Set," like oneshots, as long as the hit stays the same.
+The "Electric" effect has no audible cue when removed.
 ==History==
 ==Trivia==
-Levels in story mode don't use any cue for this gimmick.
+Levels in story mode don't use the standard audible cue for this gimmick, despite it being forcibly played with the [[Paint Rows]] event.
