When my dreams were TOO busy...too much REM stuff going on...the Restoril (temazepam) worked with Valium. I got my 7 hours+ with little dreaming..but was so desensitised that I had no happy or sad emotions either. That's why I weaned off.
After going through some heavy duty REM sleep...I have settled down to less active dreams, but short sleep cycle...4 hours at once at most! But am more refreshed in morning. Just trying to get used to it. Valerian helps now that the benzos are not part of my regular routine. I miss the calm, but not the numbness which literally made my arms numb in the morning which was scary.
