I understand...

Regarding the ambien, the few days I took it the dr. explained that it was very important that I be in the bed ready to sleep before taking it or things like you described could happen. However, my cousin takes it and would be in bed, go to sleep, then wake up and do things... I hope you find a resolution or alternative that works really soon.

I do as you do...late at night. I enjoy when others first settle down and the boy is in bed. However, when it gets closer to my going to bed, my mood/feelings/thoughts change. I don't want to go to bed at times.

I know why I don't want to... There is a reason.

I can't say why you might have the same difficulty, but unless I'm in a REALLY GOOD PLACE, I have to be literally passing out to go to bed. If I'm not asleep immediately, I have to get right back up. This isn't all the time, just when I can't do my self-care.

I understand...
