I found that it kicks in pretty quickly, almost as fast as an aspirin for headache, i.e. about 45 minutes-1 hr. Depending on the level of your insomnia, you might find that 0.5 mg. is a bit too much if you sleep well but wake up feeling very drowsy. So you can experiment and see how you do with a lower dose.
