Is it possible to make up sleep lost to insomnia?

Sometimes I have insomnia and I can barely get a good night's rest. Other times I can sleep just fine and I would like to stay in bed all day. If I can fall asleep, should I sleep longer during those days to make up for the nights I couldn't sleep due to insomnia?

No. You should maintain a regular sleep wake schedule.
