"Had success getting 8 hours of sleep. My wife had to wake me the next day. I haven't slept like that in years. College maybe? I'm telling my friends and family about this medicine."

"This medicine did not work as well for me as Lunesta or Ambien, but I like that it is not addicting. It is definitely better than nothing. I did feel mildly hungover the next day."
