>You may just have terrible insomnia. I haven't particularly noticed a difference in empty or full stomach, although I can see a slight logic in that. Lunesta 3mg was not strong enough for me, and Ambien 10mg isn't either, I take 20 -- you may need more depending if you're taking benzodiazepines also and other factors. There's no particular directive in the PI about empty stomach. But going to bed on a full stomach isn't necessarily the best thing either -- your body temperature rises slightly, certain parts of your system are activated by food. Three hours of no food before bed, while dessert is tempting, isn't particularly abnormal if you think about it. If you go to bed at 1030 and eat at 7, thats about 3 hours.
