Without med, I get to sleep[ just fine, then wake up 3-4 hours later and am up for hours. Temazapan guarantees me an 8 hour sleep, without
hangover. My limited experience with Ambien was, as others have said, not enduring. Its good for getting asleep (which I have no problem with) but doesn't sustain (which is what I need). BUT I am very cautious about the addictive element of T, and my doc and I agreed only twice a week, and hopefully stop after about 4 weeks.
