Lack of sleep

I haven't slept in days. Okay, well not quite days but almost. I've woken up at 230AM for the past three nights and haven't been able to fall back to sleep. I'm a worrier by nature..I blame my Mother (for that amongst MANY other things but that's a whole other post) so when I awake, I start to think..about big things or stupid things..doesn't really matter because whatever THING I'm thinking about; it keeps me up.
I had my annual physical today which was good timing considering once I turned 40 things started to go downhill for me. She told me to give Ambien a shot for 2 wks. I'm looking forward to the prospect of a full night's sleep but have envisioned that I may possibly wake up at 3AM and instead of worrying, do something else like raid the refrigerator or drive to the Mall to do some shopping without knowing I'm doing this. After all, the first thing you read when you read the WARNINGS is "Sleepwalking, and eating or driving while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, have been reported. If you experience any of these behaviors contact your provider immediately"
I'm not sure which is worse. The mysterious 10lbs that I could put on each night or lack of sleep.
Will be interested to see what I feel like tomorrow morning.
