"i have high functioning autism and have had trouble sleeping all my life. i have been taking prescription sleep aids since i was six. i take lunesta and while it gets me asleep i wake up 4-5 times a night when i take 2 x 3mg extended release pills. i sleep at least 6-7 hours. i do dream a lot more but before i was having dreams maybe once a month now i have them every night which helps me feel more relaxed and less anxious."
