My problem is the opposite of yours. (I think) I get too much deep
sleep, and get many, many heavy nightmares.
So what made my situation worse, might make your better: Tryptophan.
Tryptophan is probably available in your country as an over-the-counter
supplement. I took the recommended dose of 1 capsule of 400mg (and 10mg
vitamin B6) per day.
Some pointers on tryptophan:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryptophan>
Noteable quotes:
"tryptophan is an essential amino acid. This means that it cannot be
synthesized by the organism and therefore must be part of its diet."
"tryptophan functions as a biochemical precursor for the following
compounds ... Serotonin (a neurotransmitter) ...melatonin (a
neurohormone)"

I hope this helps.
