Barbara,

I haven't tried any others. I wanted something very short acting since I rarely wake up once I've fallen asleep. I also don't use the sonata every night. If it's going to work for me I think it works in under half an hour but I'm not watching the clock at that point so I'm not sure. It doesn't always work at 5 or 10 mg so I've sometimes ended up taking another 5 or 10 mg later. Sometimes I've taken 20 mg up front - that always knocks me out - but I don't want to do that each time since I don't need to. I'm also only using it to try to get to sleep under normal, quiet conditions when the only thing keeping me awake is myself. I really doubt that it would knock me out if there was too much additional stimulus like a snoring partner or people coming in and out. I hope somewhere in there are the answers to at least some of your questions.

Jane
