Trimipramine also has beneficial effects on sleep architecture, promoting REM sleep where most ADs suppress it. Trimipramine also soothes mild anxiety. Here is a link that has more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimipramine
It is a sedating tricyclic however, but some people find tricyclics very effective for these problems at sub theraputic doses.
I hope posting of external links is allowed here (I'm new) :-)
