Waking up at night while on trazidone or ambien

I am an anxiety sufferer. I take lexapro at night, but I have also always had a bit of a sleeping problem..I have gone through periods of time though, where I sleep fine..But now, maybe it is something subconciously bothering me. I am not up all night or anything, but I definitely wake up several times and I thought that you were supposed to get 7 hours sleep with these drugs. Hmm.
At any rate, anyone else actually not sleep the 7-8 hours the drug insists it should give you?

Thanks!

I was on flouxetine for a while, and that made me sleep all the time, but i find that meds or no meds, if there's a problem you're not addressing, there wont be very much sleep. I hope that it gets easier to sleep.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
