My suggestion, which may be similar to having ambien cr, is to take half an ambien when you wake up at 3 or 4 am. I've done that when it happens. Seems to help.
If you wake up later, ie with fewer hours to go, you could try sonata. It has a very short half life and might get you back to sleep, without a hangover the next day
By the way, on the rozerem, did you take it right before going to sleep? Because I used it, and my pdoc had told me to take it longer than that prior to sleeping. But I happened to notice that it takes effect very quickly and also has a short half-life. After that, I took it only right before bed, and I thought it was actually helpful. Still needed ambien, but I have pretty persistent insomnia.
