I thought I was the only one that happened to. I've tried telling Pdocs about it and I looked at like yeah right. But I've gotten lucky with Pdocs and Ts lately and they are more receptive to how hard it is for me to relax and get to sleep. It helps that in the hospital they see how hard it is.
I read to try and lower the anxiety sometimes it works. What's helped lately is getting more of a routine, lighting scented candles, reading, winding down around the same time every night. That plus the ambien. I also read that to change the carcadian rhythm you can take melatonin in the afternoon to start relaxing, but check with your pdoc before you do that.
