I don't like to take any unnecessary medications but sleep is absolutely essential to handle any type of chronic pain.

So I use trazodone (desyrel). It WORKS. It isn't a magic pill, but it certainly has helped with my sleep patterns. And the side effects profile is pretty darn low which means that most people tolerate it okay.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will certainly ask my doctor about it. I've used other medications in order to help me sleep but I haven't found one yet that actually seems to work.
