hi there,
i use imovane (zopiclone) to sleep. it is not readily prescribed, but has worked for me for years. it is not physically addictive, so no withdrawals. i find it gives me a restful sleep, when i need it.
as for finding yourself addicted to substances: yeah, i feel your pain! it happens to the best of us! there are some things that are more addictive than others, but generally, if you use something everyday you will either become physically or mentally dependent on it (or both)... that's just the way it goes. i would seriously caution against using sleeping aids continually. i have a good friend who has become hopelessly dependent on them-- but now none work for her, so she has resorted to the benzos. she is unhappy with the arrangement.
so, instead of trying to change your inate sleep pattern, perhaps it is time to find another shift! graveyard can be very challenging.
good luck,
tai
