the wake-inducing agents are out of reach for me. My doctor cannot prescribe them: they are available only from special doctors and special pharmacies, not general retail pharmacies. And to get those medications through those specific channels, you have to fill out a questionnaire and mention the medications you are taking. Since I take Seroquel to fall asleep, I would not qualify for wake-inducing agents. They consider combining them with hypnotics too risky.

Thank you greatly for all the info! I will explore!
