i use trazodone to sleep and i have to take it IN bed because it knocks me out that fast. i don't have the lucid, vivid dreams, at least that i remember, that i had before meds. it's nice sleep. i take it for sleep, but also to supplement my other anti-anxiety drugs. some people wake up feeling hungover or groggy. i just spring up from it. best of luck with it. i hope it helps you.
