But I have never slept well, I often wake up every hour or so, when I do sleep through I often have VERY vivid nightmares. I've scared people :p I talk, I move around a lot, sometimes scream, or cry. Its like....a horror movie....muhahaha.

My doctors have wanted to prescribe something, but I am leery of sleeping pills. I'm afraid of taking something that will make me feel WORSE than not sleeping.

Jenna, I highly recommend Ambien. It's what I take when I have those rare bouts of insomnia due to menopause. It's not like taking a sedative where *boom* you're out - rather you fall very gently to sleep. And I've always woken in the morning not feeling like I took a sleeping pill. Always felt like I had a good night's sleep.
