Just to throw this in, it really doesn't focus on sleep but a blog about a person's withdrawal from abilify
Abilify Withdrawal ? Round 1 « Manic Muses
Abilify Withdrawal ? Round 2 « Manic Muses
Abilify Withdrawal ? Round 3: Abilify Wins and Antipsychotic Dependence « Manic Muses

I have not read them. I have only took Abilify for a few days at 5 mgs. I did some reasearch and I did not think an atypical antipsychotic was the way to go with my not having bipolar or schizophrenia. I was going to try it at 2.5 to 5 mg tops for depression and its partial 5HT1a partial agonist properties for GAD. I was also interested in it's partial agonism of D2 instead of a full agonist.
I was on a med. program for low income at the time. They ended up sending me three bottles of Abilify at 90 count. Usually you have to fight to renew your meds. These guys were just shipping them to me. Finally I had to call the med. program and talk to 4 people to say "Stop sending me Abilify. I don't use it"

Only med I ever has through a sliding scale program. That I had to ask them to please stop sending them to me! I just looked and they had sent me 9 bottles of 90ct 5 mg. Why couldn't it have been a med I use . Like Lamictal or Wellbutrin 300 xl or a few others I could use!!!
