Dramamine is an over the counter anti-motion sickness med that causes sleep as a side effect. It doesn't let you get into REM phase of sleep which is where most night-time attack occur. It won't prevent an attack if one breaks through, but it may help you to skip one, at least. Any sleep is precious.
This has worked for a few folks here and I'm pretty sure you can get it in generic (read: cheaper) form from your drugstore.
Best of luck!
