Larry,
I don't mean to be like those mean doctors if you need a benzo by all means take it, but i do disagree. That is one single study which wasn't all that in depth in EEG activity or sleep spindles during sleep anyways. There are countless more showing the opposite for insomnia or for other conditions or for benzos in general.
If i were a doctor, i would find a medication that is the least disruptive to the sleep stages first using my best effort. (All for the care of my patient). If i failed, then I would use something like a benzo, but id rather not. Then again, I would be a very good doctor and maybe even order and EEG or sleep study if nothing was working. A good smart doc would do that before dispensing meds left and right...
