"I have used it on and off for years. It works so fast. Get in bed, then spray it. The downside is that it tastes really bad, but the taste is gone if you drink water afterwards. It also is very useful for traveling and plane rides that are over 4 hrs. It is approved if you only can get 4 hours of sleep. So sometimes when I fly, I will spray this and sleep for my 5.5 hr plane ride."

"My experience: Cons- some nights, right as soon as I fell asleep, I'd wake up sleepwalking and make myself something to eat, or get naked and sit at the table. Now I'm not a sleepwalker, but my brother sleeps late, and he would always tell me in the morning that I'd walk into his room and say something random, or he'd be in the kitchen when I woke up sleepwalking. He'd say I always seemed fully awake 'cause my eyes were wide open, but I'd act weird. Pros- kept me asleep, and I'd wake up early feeling I had enough sleep."

"Zolpidem does work fast. However, I have a right arm that goes to sleep on me easily. So if I take Zolpidem, I make sure that I fall asleep in a position that will not cut the circulation in my arm."

"I have bipolar 2 and severe insomnia. Zolpimist is the best med I’ve found so far. I’ve tried Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata, trazodone, Restoril, melatonin, and many OTC drugs. Zolpimist (2 sprays) seems to work. Takes about 30-45 minutes to kick in for me, but eventually knocks me out. I find myself waking up after about 5 hours of sleep. Good enough for me! VERY expensive! I have great insurance and I pay $328/month. I find it worth it though."
