Sleep...perchance to dream.

In the short term, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine might help you on both fronts. When I've taken those I split the 10 mg tablets in half, otherwise I'd wake up with a raging hangover.

I like valerian too, or a valerian/hops/skullcap combo. Older allergy pills are another possibility - it's not unusual for me to take a chlorpheniramine maleate at night to both help me sleep, and knock down allergy symptoms that break through the shots and non-drowsy meds.

I will check this out with my doctor. My current muscle relaxant isn't strong enough to really do much except take the edge off during the day at work when I can't risk getting drowsy.
