I alternate Halcion and Benadryl myself; Halcion has a pretty similar half life to that of Ambien but is a true benzodiazepine and is possibly a little more powerful. Combining Sonata and Ambien does not sound wise to me, and I also see no point in alternating them, either. If it were me, I would keep whichever one is more effective (which seems to be the Ambien) and try alternating it with a non-benzo type sleep aid. Two OTC ones that are available are Benadryl (diphenhydramine) as I use or Unisom (doxylamine). You might also consider hydroxyzine (Vistaril), which is a prescription drug. Benadryl and Unisom are antihistamines, and I think Vistaril is also.
