Hi Llurpsie,
i used to take Ambien. If it's not CR, the max dose is 10mg. If it is CR, I think the max is 12.5.
I hate to say it will keep you asleep without grogginess the next day, because it affects everyone differently. But it did frequently work for me (until it stopped).
One thing I used to do is take one pill (5mg), wait and see if it worked, and if it didn't, have a glass or two of wine. That usually did it. But of course you are not supposed to do that :)
Wellbutrin probably contributes to the insomnia, so maybe you could cut the dose for a few days--just until your therapist returns, your SIL leaves, and life is a bit more doable.
I hope you feel better soon. Sleeplessness is a terrible curse.
