I would try Valium or Ativan before bed instead of Klonopin. It would only take a couple of weeks to build up tolerance to it's sedating effect, so I don't know why your doc would worry about it being sedating. Most people tend to prefer a certain benzo, Klonopin tend to be the least noticable while Valium can be like alcohol in a pill. I don't like Valium myself as I find it depresses me, but some say it's great. Xanax could possibly be good too, but I wouldn't try it unless you are resigned to taking benzos for the rest of your days.
Cheers,
Panda.
