I'm just worried about the Ambien because it's addictive - although, I'm not actually sure I get physically addicted to things. It's weird.

I've used this trick a couple of times. It doesn't seem to help unfortunately, at least not this go-round. Sometimes the physical act of getting out of bed and getting my body going again makes it worse, which is totally unfair.

Thanks so much for all your comments and advice; it has at least been a comfort to know I've got support from people. *hugs*
