You might consider trying melatonin or trazodone before you go to benzos for sleep. Melatonin knocks me too far out and gives me a hangover, but trazodone has been a godsend for me. It's an antidepressant that doesn't have much effect on depression (although it seems to potentiate some of the other anti-d's), but it has sleepiness as a side effect. It definitely improves the quality of my sleep.
