Hi Adenosine,

I fight the same battle and it's tough. I've tried Ambien, but that only gives me about 4 hours sleep max - then I wind up taking Xanax or Valium, in the middle of the night, to get back to sleep again. I have been prescribed Trazodone as well, but it gives me nightmares for some reason or another. What's really been good for me is working out, in some way or another, during the day - not napping at all - and taking Flexeril when going to bed at a decent time. I'm so asleep after that and can get at least 8 hours. I don't get any hang-over type effect, but it's really hard to wake up for some reason. Perhaps because it's gentically-structured similarly to Elavil. I wish you the best and hope you find peace in sleep soon.
