The repeated mid-night wakeups were a persistent problem for me and probably my main reason for giving up after 7 weeks at 75mg. I got the same thing from Wellbutrin previously & suspect the norepenephrine component so my thought is to combine an SSRI with a pure dopamine stimulant like Survector. I tried regular stimulants for inattentive ADD & while I didn't have trouble sleeping (they are very short acting) I did not get the mental calming that is touted, just more wired & obsessive.
