Sleeping aids and nightmares?

I have a taste packs from my psychiatrist which are the following: Ambien, Lunesta (haven't tried yet), Rozerem and Restoril. All of the ones I enjoy tried have given me awful nightmares and I am constantly wake up sweating in the middle of the darkness. I thought I wasn't sleeping before, but immediately it is just awful. These dreams are especially lucid and very material feeling. I Just want to know if anyone have had similar experience and what they did.Sleeping aids and nightmares?
Before going to bed, meditate on God some time or read eclectic paragraph from religious books.
I haven't, but may I suggest not taking them. I suspect you may be having a side affects.
If you are have trouble just getting into a moral sleep may I suggest trying the following herbal suppliments: Valerian root or its stronger cousin, Melatonin. Both of these get me out of the unrestful sleep and backing give me a appropriate rest the entire night.
