Heavy Dreaming in the Morning

I have off and on problems sleeping related to stress and anxiety. I take Trazodone but lately it hasn’t been as effective. I have intense vivid and oftentimes repetitive stress dreams ( work related or related to my mom’s passing a year ago). 2 questions, I’m thinking about asking my doctor for a new medication, but don’t want something scary. Is there anything in the same vain as trazodone that would be helpful to ask the doctor about? Second, has anyone else experienced frequent wake ups interspersed by heavy dreaming and sweaty legs in the morning starting at around 6am? Like dream wake dream wake etc? Trying to figure out if this is a major disruption in my REM sleep. On days when I have to get up before this morning cycle begins I feel sooooo tired.
