Vamp, your sleep pattern is exactly like mine. Sleep a few hours, lay awake an hour, move to the couch and sleep a few more, go back to bed and lay awake again until 15 minutes before the alarm goes off :lol:

Anything with an antihistamine (Advil PM, Tylenol PM, Benadryl, Sominex, etc) knock me out for days so they are not an option. I go through about 30 Ambien a year, usually half a tablet at a time. But you can actually get up and function if you have to after taking an Ambien. My daughter was scheduled for a C-Section at 8am, the night before my wife and I were excited about the prospect of our first grandson - we both took Ambien at 10 and went to bed to get a good night's sleep. At midnight, my daughter called to say she had gone into labor and was headed for the hospital. Even with the Ambien on board we were able to get up and funtion normally.
