trouble sleeping

i have trouble sleeping. i get about 4 hours of sleep most nights. if i take xanax i can sleep. sleeping pills gives me about four hours of sleep. it is hard to hold down a job with no sleep. i try to limit xanax to 2 to 3 times a week .5mg per pill. i take sinemet and since i was told to increase my dosage the problem with little sleep increased to less sleep. found this on the web. i agree pd is my problem.

does anyone else have the same problem
