I have the same problem...I don't sleep well, I seldom get in that third stage of sleep. Ambien does not work for me either. Xanax occassionally works but I try not to depend on them for sleep as I don't want my body expecting one every night to go to sleep since they are so addictive. I don't know what to tell you. My doctor told me I could have a glass of wine but tried that and it didn't work for long...and I have to be in the mood for alcohol...not much of a drinker now in my old age but when in my 20's, I could put it away. I don't know what to advise on the sleep issue. When I can't sleep, I get up, read or get on computer rather than tossing and turning, and getting myself in a tizzy cuz I can't go to sleep. ??????? Love, Peace, Hope & Prayers, Pat
