I've taken it before. My understanding is that Noritriptyline is similar to Amitriptyline but without causing drowsiness (which seems like something you may want to help you sleep?)

Here are a couple of pages from the Mayo Clinic which discuss Nortriptyline.

Prescription sleeping pills: What's right for you?

Antidepressant, Tricyclic

I hope that you can find this information helpful. You can also find more articles if you do a search for nortriptyline in the Drugs and Supplements section of their site.
