However, after reading your post, it is easy to come up with an conclusion. Your symptoms reflect the syndrome commonly seen in Insomnia. [1]
One type frequently observed in younger patients. Indivisuals affected by this type of sleep disorder have become more and more tense during the day and are unable to relax. [1]
The second type of insomia is exhibited by patients who are able to go to sleep but awaken in 2 or 3 hours and loose sleep during the middle of the night. Because they often awaken during the period when normal sleep lightens, and some are alternately awake and sleep in the middle of the night, often these are sick persons with a debilitating or painful illness which generates more pain and restlessness as muscles relax and leave painful areas unsplinted. [1]
The third type of insomia is seen in patients who go to sleep promptly and sleep well most of the night, only to waken too early in the morning. Indivisuals who fall into this category are also are under great tension, worry, or anxiety or are overworked and exhausted - they go to bed and get up eariler and earlier so that they are sleeping during the day and are alert during the night - and finaly sink into bed and fall to sleep through sheer exhaustion, but around 4 or 5 a.m. they wake back up with their worries and are unable to get back to sleep. [1]
Nevertheless, in any case, a conservative program of medical management is needed along with pharmacologic treatment. [1] Phycotherapy is also an effective approach. [2]
Addiction is not likely when used properly, however, to prevent using sedative drugs (e.g. Benzodiazepines: TEMAZEPAM [Restoril®]) as "a crutch on which to limp through life, the solution to your sleep disorder lies in searching out and correct the underlying difficulty; a good book, pleasure in staying awake, and belief in the human organism will always get as much sleep as needed will also be helpful. [1]
If your symptoms continue beyond 3 days of starting TEMAZEPAM (Restoril®) or your medication has become ineffective, report to your Prescriber as soon as possible. If your symptoms have not improved with the use of TEMAZEPAM (Restoril®), your Doctor will instruct you on how to gradually discontinue the drug.
Hope this helps,

Prisoner: Look here, doctor! You've already removed my spleen, tonsils, adenoids, and one of my kidneys. I only came to see if you could get me out of this place!
Doctor: I am, bit by bit.
