Sleeping pills for me?

It has been continuous nights that i didnt sleep well. Every night, I have no problem falling into sleep within 5-10min but would definitely wake up in the middle of the night - sometimes in semi-conciousness, sometimes fully awake.

2 nites ago was ridiculous. I dreamt that i was attending a 'talk', and during this talk, i was not supposed to sleep. Hence, I struggled myself to be awake and ended up in the semi-conscious state throughout the 'talk'. Its only when this 'talk' has ended, i allowed myself to fall back into deep sleep again. When i woke up later in the morning, i was rather upset tt i actually got tricked by my own dreams. Something almost similar happened to my subq nites.

This morning, I went back to the doctor for the 3rd time this week. The first visit read my blood pressure at 70/170, 2nd visit was 68/135, and today it went up again to 70/159. Reason why the blood pressure dropped on the 2nd day was becos i took the anti-stress pills which helps to lower my pressure. But i din take it this morning and hence resulted in the up shot in my blood pressure again, sign.

Today, the doctor decided to prescribe me sleeping pills. I am supposed to take them for one week to monitor my situation. However, i worry about getting too addicted to it. I may not want to take them.

Should I take or not take tonight?
