Dalmane will cause more hangover than temazepam, but less than its halflife might suggest, because it is redistributed to fatty tissue.
A study conduced by the BMJ in the 70's showed that nitrazepam (another benzo hypnotic commonly used in england, europe and australia) kept working for 6 months, and the authors concluded that tolorance to benzo hypnotics wasnt a problem for most patients.
Your dose is very high - it might be wise to try combining (say) 30mg of temazepam or Dalmane with (say) 25mg of doxepin.
