"I've been taking 10 for a month. They get me to sleep for 2 hours, then I'm up, fall back asleep like every hour. If it's 5, I'll stay up 'til 7, take a 5, and go back to sleep for a couple of hours."

Zaleplon "Sonata is useless. Even when the dose is bumped up to 20 mg. Skip this one and just go for the Ambien."
