who needs sleep?

i can't sleep again. are there any negative side effects for sleeping pills? if it's something like 'makes your boobs grow' then sign me up. but seriously, this is pissing me off. i've tried every stupid trick and it still takes me forever to sleep. the other night i fell asleep at 4! and believe me, at 4 in the morning every noise sounds like a kidnapper/rapist/murderer breaking in. and i wake up at like 11 and feel more tired than before. and who gets up at 11? neanderthals? mind you, it's 11 on a good day. if it doesn't get better i'm going to my doctor. is Ambien a good sleeping pill? does it taste like orange tic tacs?
