Answers:
First off,let me just say sorry about your loss. Have you gone to the doctors and asked about Post Traumatic Stress? I can relate to you in many ways. What about the sleep aids don't you like? I mean,at least you're getting sleep,right? But I do understand,the feeling of "false sleep" was why I wanted off of mine. All I can honestly say is goto the doctor and ask them every question about alternate sleep that doesn't involve using pills.
Also ask about Post Traumatic Stress. I know they have meetings for people who have it,to help overcome the symptoms and help get their life back in some order. You can e mail me or IM me if you want to talk. I can tell you about my experience. God bless...
