Trouble is the whole package of using sleeping pills is a myth. It takes as little as 3 days to become habituated. From that point on if you try and go without them you sleep less that you did initially. This convinces you that you can't sleep without them, which is true, but only because they have taught your brain to rely on them to switch off.
Overall patients on long term sleeping pills sleep on average only 20 minutes more than they did pre-medication and fall asleep only 12 minutes sooner. Not much of a gain to balanced against a life time time of addiction.
The trick is never to prescribe them in the first place, GPs with good pharmacological knowledge seldom do.
In 25 years of GP practice I have confined sleeping pill prescriptions to 3 patient groups.
1) The terminally ill
2) Patients with psychotic mental illness who require sedation as an adjunct to their other mediation
3) Elderly demented patients in nursing homes.
Try looking at some sleep strategies instead.
Hiya....took one an hour and a half ago...just kickin in! Starting to feel a lil groggy, so hopefully will be sound asleep in an hour or so. Normally work well for me, but only take them when I need to get up early and not every night as don't want to be dependent on them.
Hope it kicks in soon for you hun=]

i take them regularly and after ten mins eat some chocolate believe me and my sister-in-law it works
i take them occasionally ... generally sleeping tablets are
only supposed to help you get off to sleep.. not keep you asleep through out the night ... hence you sit through the
buzz .. you be back awake again ...
not as good as tamazipam....
