In reply to Ambien vs. Sonata?, posted by JonW on June 15, 2002, at 15:11:28
Sonata is a short-acting drug, so you are less likely to get good results from that. Ambien is the six- to eight-hour version of Sonata, which lasts about four on the dot. I use Sonata for waking up too early, like if I'm up from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. and it doesn't seem likely I'll fall back to sleep. I usually awaken exactly 3.5 or 4 hours later, but sometimes, like this morning, I'm able to fall back to sleep for a little while longer.
You can, of course, use two Sonatas--one to fall asleep and one when you wake up. Or maybe this is not the right drug for you. (Since Ambien and Sonata are essentially the same, I believe.)
