The first time I took Restoril was the longest I've slept in over 20 years. I truly cannot remember ever sleeping 7 hours at one time. I have been taking Restoril for over 3 years now and I can usually count on 5 hours of sleep. The only side effects that I have noticed are forgetfulness and sometimes balance.

I tried this for insomnia after trying many different medications. It does work great for helping you fall asleep and staying asleep, but it does have side effects. Being a hypnotic it does cause you to do things in your sleep you might not remember when you wake up. For example: After taking it one night, I woke up the next morning to find myself soaking wet. I had a bottle of water on my chest. I had poured the water all over myself during the night and had no memory of it. This is just me though, some people have no problems with this medication. Overall, it works great for helping you fall asleep.

Works well, but leaves a bit of a "hangover". Ambien is better, however I rearranged my furniture 1 night and have no memory of it. So its safe to say I quit taking Ambien after that incident and changed to Restoril.
