im currently wrapping up my first week of the insanity workout ( did the one week prep video as well).. and also doing the diet.. and i have absolutely no energy. all i want to do is sleep all day. i am eating a TON of calories almost 3000 is what they suggest. and i am just totally drained. im assuming this is pretty typical of insanity?

    I don't think this is typical. My body is exhausted after, but I've never experienced what you are describing. I don't know of any workout that leaves someone with a feeling of just wanting to sleep all day. Are you sure they are related? No clue what your stats are, but the nutrition program only has me around 1860 calories for fat loss. What foods are filling those 3000 calories? Did you just start eating 3000 calories this week? I wouldn't say it's the workout, I'd be more interested in what food you're using as fuel.

    im eating basically the same stuff i have been, just more of it, chicken, fish, salads, veggies berries, whole grains eggs etc. i get a GOOD amount of sleep as well at night.. only started being tired when i started insanity, but maybe its just my body adjusting

    I was exhausted the first week, too. Actually took naps... Which is very rare for me. It got better starting the second week.
