Why would extreme sleeping pills like Halcyon only knock me out for about 4 and half hours?

Question

That's all the sleep I ever get anyways.

Answer 1

I haven't heard of that medication.  Have you tried Ambien or lunesta?  They might possibly help you.  I know there is now an extended release that helps you stay asleep all night.

Answer 2

Hi honey, I have never heard of these sleeping pills before, are they by prescription only?  Are they similar to Stilnox?

I too cant sleep without a sleeping aide, due to the fact I suffer from Anxiety/Panic attacks, but it getting better, I would take 2 Stilnox and sleep for about 3 hours then be up again, to the point it was ridiculous.

So I went to the chemist/drug store and over the counter you can buy "Restavit", it is better than prescription Stilnox, I'm not sure if you can get it from where ever you live, but they make you feel groggy in the morning.

Is there a particular reason you are not sleeping like stress? Anxiety? Depression?

There are some groups out there to attend and they are good, but it wont help you sleep, but will relax you, you can also get relaxation cds from these groups.

I hope this has helped a bit. Best of Luck Honey.
