I got off it easily by taking a benzo, now I need to get off the benzo. I know, deep down, that the only way is to try not to sleep. The brain is a very amazing organ but it often works against you. You need to fool it! Try to sleep and you won't be able to, try not to sleep and....well you get the point. If you only sleep a couple hours, get up and keep semi busy until you are sleepy again. Clean house, read that book you've always wanted to read, watch classic old movies and talk to your neighbors.....
