Minnesota,
Do you get regular exercise in during the day? It may help to make you a little more sleepy at night. You can also try doing some relaxation exercises like Yoga or meditation.

I used to take Lexapro and I didn't have too much trouble sleeping but I did get sweaty during sleep. Yes, you may want to change the time you are taking it. And make sure that the dosage is the right dosage.
I dont sleep well anymore, since my anxiety came back. I got sleeping pills but I felt too medicated so I stopped taking them. I take some sleepy teas, You have to becareful tho, check with the doc as some have reactions to anxiety meds. My doc said chamomile was ok. Some nights I sleep straight through and some, like last night, I slept for 3 hours, woke up..feel asleep properly at about 5:00 am.
Also try not to have caffeine after 1:00 pm..I cut back on that big time, it sort of helps too.
Another tip may be taking your medication at a different time of day. I used to take mine before bed and now I take it in the morning and have found that I don't have as much trouble sleeping. I understand your hesitation about taking sleeping aids. Sometimes it feels like you start with one type of medication and then it just snowballs into you taking other medications to get rid of the side effects of another. It's a tangled web my friend.
Devon7,
You should follow your doctor's instructions. If he feels like you need a sleeping aid, it's probably best.
You could also try doing some relaxation exercises before bed time, this may help to easy stress and tension and allow you to fall asleep faster.
